re: BREAKING: Trump will sign executive order shortly about social media companies

So they had an executive order ready to roll and were just looking for an opportunity to spring it when the President himself was the affected party? Perhaps.
It would fit in with the libel suits his campaign has filed in relation to political opinion pieces.

One can only hope.

Normally,I would agree, but that dude was going after everybody, including people who normally would agree with him. It was like it was a life or death thing for him.

How is Twitter silencing him?
I think you’re both.

Thanks!
So does the "assumption" that social media platforms would act as neutral forums need to be revisited and legislated now?
Seems like a grey area unless Congress concretely enacts a law that makes them either a platform or a publisher.

There is no defamation or slander by a fact check.
You can’t.

And the “fact check” was demonstrably false.
Where’s that fall into this argument?

This is what The Hill thinks it might be:
quote:
The Trump administration reportedly drafted an executive order titled “Protecting Americans from Online Censorship” in 2019 that would let the Federal Communications Commission change how Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is interpreted.
That law, which is considered foundational to the modern internet by most tech companies, gives platforms legal immunity for content posted by third-party users while also giving them legal cover to make good-faith efforts to moderate their platforms.

It will increase censorship, not decrease it
It’s pretty damn bitter.

It’s insanely bitter and I don’t like it at all. I don’t want a president making executive orders against private companies

Big Tech will challenge it and it’ll at least start the process of getting it to SCOTUS
