People I barely know tell me they see in the news things that are being censored...

people feel like this is a turning point for our country...

Trump is the only guy who has balls to say a dang thing about any of it...

we've tolerated it way too long....

now it seems unreasonable to hold these communist accountable

they will just say "oh see, he is being fascist dictator like we tried to tell you"

sadly that will be the case

but it will be a complete lie ...

Trump's entire presidency has been about trying to censor him... with phony investigations and even an impeachment

now or never

I remember when liberals loved free speech especially by companies protected by congress to uphold it.

Do you remember?

Notice how the President has held this in his pocket since 2019 but only played the card when he was personally affected.

He doesn’t give a rip about me and you.

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.


Or, he baited y'alls dumbasses like he has been doing for 4 years and y'all still can't figure it out.

Or, he devalued your own constitutional rights and system of government when it suited his fancy, and you cheered it on.

Calling my shot.

EO will state that all media platforms that censor conservatives unnecessarily will not receive the benefits of their current status any longer. It will be a financial hurt, is my bet.

Status being that current laws applicable to them protect them from being sued as a platform.

3 hours ago this was a snap decision.

What has it been, two days since twitter clarified the Trump tweet? This reeks of a Trump temper tantrum. Lawyers have been burning the midnight oil to exact Nixonian retribution via executive fiat.


Now he’s bad for sitting on it.

You could just save time by saying “whatever Trump does will suck”.

You'll have to be more specific about what you're talking about. I'm talking here about whiny arse "conservatives" too afraid to compete with a company they don't like.

The funniest part about this is Karen Brzezinski got Jack to do something that will lead directly to Twitter losing its safe harbor protections and opening the floodgates to lawsuits against Twitter.

One of the first legal challenges to Section 230 was the 1997 case Zeran v. America Online, Inc., in which a Federal court affirmed that the purpose of Section 230 as passed by Congress was "to remove the disincentives to self-regulation created by the Stratton Oakmont decision". Under that court's holding, computer service providers who regulated the dissemination of offensive material on their services risked subjecting themselves to liability, because such regulation cast the service provider in the role of a publisher. Fearing that the specter of liability would therefore deter service providers from blocking and screening offensive material, Congress enacted § 230's broad immunity "to remove disincentives for the development and utilization of blocking and filtering technologies that empower parents to restrict their children's access to objectionable or inappropriate online material." In addition, Zeran notes "the amount of information communicated via interactive computer services is . . . staggering. The specter of tort liability in an area of such prolific speech would have an obviously chilling effect. It would be impossible for service providers to screen each of their millions of postings for possible problems. Faced with potential liability for each message republished by their services, interactive computer service providers might choose to severely restrict the number and type of messages posted. Congress considered the weight of the speech interests implicated and chose to immunize service providers to avoid any such restrictive effect."


It’s Wiki but it works for background info



To put it simply, seems theres a difference in regulating for screening and deletion than a company publishing its own content tagging it onto the user’s material. Seems easy enough to redefine that a private company can screen/censor and remain a ‘platform’ like deleting offensive material vs creating content like a ‘publisher’ as we saw with twitter-trump fiasco.
