I got banned for making off-color jokes in an OT thread and someone got the red arse. No politics involved.

Well has anything been signed yet, or just a buncha bullshite
Well, the Administration started working on the EO in early 2019 so I’m sure it’s ready to go but why sign it without letting them sweat it out for a bit

From the linked article:
But rather than facilitate free speech, Silicon Valley now uses Section 230 to justify censorship, leading to a legal and policy muddle. For instance, in response to a lawsuit challenging its speech policies, Google claimed that restricting its right to censor would “impose liability on YouTube as a publisher.” In the same motion, Google argues that its right to restrict political content also derives from its “First Amendment protection for a publisher’s editorial judgments,” which “encompasses the choice of how to present, or even whether to present, particular content.”
So they want to be protected by not being a publisher, but also exercise their rights of free speech as a publisher? That’s not how it works.

Many Americans, of all political leanings, do not want censorship. Trump is merely shining a bright light on the bias of Twitter.
We don't know what he's doing yet.
But I don't think he needs an executive order to "shine a bright light" on anything.
If it turns out that he's interfering with the operation of the social media companies, I agree with David. Those are private companies, they can do what they want, filter any content they want, censor anything they want.
There's a free market and someone with the capital and know-how could make an absolute mint by simply offering a conservative alternative to what's out there right now. That's the solution to this.

These companies operate under a set of rules laid out by the FCC and Congress.
If they aren’t following those rules, the FCC can change their interpretations.
As mentioned above, they are playing both sides on this by trying to be a publisher when it suits them and a platform when it suits them on other matters. The center cannot hold.

Can we define "shortly" for those that are waiting?

There’s also the whole anti trust elephant in the room. The laws are outdated and so don’t really cover tech companies. The tech companies could be fricked raw. If the public and lawmakers saw how they track, gather and what they do with info and the anti competitive practices in which they engage, man...there would be a fricking riot.
Try to start a competitor to these tech companies and they’ll crush you before you can get it off the ground. Numerous examples with Gab being just one.

I think it'll be toothless. Too many swamp creatures, IMO.

You scared of your own shadow crying wolf mofos are always making shite up, like this, global warming, covid fear tactics, out of whole cloth...
Tell me, why did I hear from the left about martial law impending from Trump over this covid bs? Not only did Trump go out of his way to not do it, the damned dictatorial types have all come from the left. Don't pretend otherwise.
Good grief you lefties are so perpetually wrong, I would be embarrassed at this point but then again one has to have some shame for that to occur. Speaks volumes!

I could give you an example but you seem to preemptively refuse to head it.
Just curious, Gnome. Did you ever cite the one example? Admittedly, I am only on page 2 of a 12 page and growing thread, so maybe you did.
But assuming you didn't.

Trump baited the social media companies and they fell for it
