Today via CommonSocial, Twitter and Facebook we asked for your responses to our #CommonDebate feature
AS part of Scotland’s new media, what you think about the news is a top priority for CommonSpace – we want to know how you feel about major news stories, and what events you think should be getting attention.
Your views on news issues are incredibly important to us, and we want you to be involved every step of the way. Whenever there’s a big question or issue drawing public attention, we’ll use the #CommonDebate hashtag to make sure your voice is heard.
Today’s #CommonDebate question was ‘Is the Cannes burkini ban terrorism on feminism?’
We weren’t exactly overwhelmed with responses to today’s question, which could be evidence that our readers are taking advantage of the lovely weather, but our respondent on Facebook drew a connection to what he felt France could potentially learn from Scotland
Responses on Twitter were varied, ranging from the incredibly concise (below) to a considerations of whether the implications of the issue were confined to feminism.

@AngelaHaggerty Personally, I think it's simply terrorism, or race hate and persecution in its most basic institutionalised form.

User @iainandrews91 wondered if the root of the issue was not more closely linked with secularism in France.
@TheCommonSpace Is it not consistent with France's infamously secular society?

Finally, it’s not immediately clear whether the issues surrounding the ban or the question for today’s debate were affecting this Twitter respondent:
