President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order that he said calls for the Federal Communications Commission to revisit Section 230 of the Communications and Decency Act of 1996, which provides websites immunity from liability for content users post on their platforms.adding a fact-check label on a pair of Trump's tweets
earlier this week. The fact-check included a link directing users to a page with news reports debunking the tweets, in which Trump claimed there was"NO WAY" an election with boosted mail-in voting would be legitimate. A Twitter spokesperson told NBC News on Tuesday the tweets"contain potentially misleading information about voting processes and have been labeled to provide additional context around mail-in ballots." The spokesperson added the companyLet our news meet your inbox. The news and stories that matters, delivered weekday mornings.
Coming for you 4chan
AndreaD1919 The NBC description of what the executive order is for, is inaccurate & misleading. Yes, social media sites are protected from being sued for misuse of their sites - that doesn't mean THEY get to misuse their sites by promoting their political views & censoring everyone else.
Let me get this straight. Twitter is now more liable for the content posted by its user. Doesn't that then mean they should be more likely to censor user posts, including Trump? Sounds like a plus to me...
Big Don regulates his right to lie with impunity.Many people think telling rhe truth would be a better option.
Wow such priorities...
He just got a tweet bleeped lol
This man violated Terms of Service, of which every single one of us on Twitter agreed to. This company can run their social media platform the way they want. Period.
'Is Donald Trump the 'Chosen One'? Or is he the predicted Antichrist? 'Donald Trump and China in Bible Prophecy' explores two sides of Donald Trump's presidency...' For more check out the video below.
Twitter says President Trump has violated its rules against glorifying violence, places public notice on his tweet: 'We've taken action in the interest of preventing others from being inspired to commit violent acts, but have kept the tweet on Twitter.'
Because this is the most pressing issue for POTUS. Over 100,000 dead from the inept and incompetent actions of realDonaldTrump. A major US city in chaos as his administration inflamed and ignored racial tensions and police brutality. UnfitForOffice
To say it hurts one is to say it hurts all?
*secondary liability
Well, just about 90 years ago similar actions took place in Germany. This is how dictatorship is slowly formed. His Presidential Majesty wants HIS lies given the status of unquestionable FACT!
Anything so he doesn't have to tell the truth!
There is no law against fact checking, big nose. Slander is still slander.
Wish he could focus that hard on his actual job as President instead of trying to take revenge for getting his pee pee slapped
allinwithchris He doesn’t like what twitter did to him and in one day he acts! The virus comes and he did nothing! Con men only care about themselves!
What a clown he is ... Using the power of the Presidency to execute personal gripes. An embarrassment of a President.
julibriskman Nothing will come of this. No bill will be validated and passed. Just another lame distraction from a failure of a presidency while the rest of us are dying when we shouldn't have to
Unconstitutional tyranny. This soft minded wanna be Hitler needs to be removed Biden2020 DumpTrump2020 JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
Duh !
Because this is what the President of the United States should be worrying about right now?!? theresapandemicgoingon doyourjob worstpresidentever
I guess he is saying that he has a right to lie on Twitter.
LOVE IT
Executive freedom of speech gag order! Another straw an the camels back of freedom!
Damn skippy! How do you sue a pre programmed lunatic fringe Democratic bot anyways?
So as long as it's done on 'social media' the term 'defamation of character' doesn't exist by way of executive order. Interesting for Douchebag who loves to sue.
See you in court,asshole
Ironically I actually don't have a problem with what he's saying. Trump just thinks that these rules should only apply to non-trump supporters, and definitely not him. That's his only foolish take on things, laws, rules, ethics and morals don't apply to him only to other people.
allinwithchris
Trump is trying to transition our country from a democracy to a fascist government.
Hahahahaha! He shld be careful what he wishes for! Guess who will be turned off like a LIGHTSWITCH if platforms lose immunity!
Is that legal?
Corrupt and criminal Trump and co. strikes again. Where are the laws that protect us from this dictator who is more like a baby throwing a temper tantrum. Diaper changed needed?
I’m so over him😩. People on their own should fact check his statements. His ardent followers believe whatever he says, undeservedly.
Illegal. Will be overturned.
Did this clown ever hear of freedom of the press ,he's blowing smoke up everyone's ass if he thinks he knows what he's talking about,he's one of the worst presidents we've every had
Maybe Twitter should have held him to the same rules and standards that everybody else had to adhere to.
That should apply to the president too lmao
and?
Trump and decency is the same sentence? Oxymoronic.
And yet he hangs on to his twitter platform. A bully never faces his foe when he knows he can’t win the fight. Safer to throw imaginary, verbal punches from a distance - the bully pulpit, protected by his lapdog. Woof Barr.
But the GOP was responsible for letting the Fairness Doctrine expire so they could flood media with their views
I'm glad he did this!
Hahahaha he literally can’t do that. That piece of paper is worth less that the toilet paper I wipe my ass with. Try to enforce it, I dare him.
realDonaldTrump finds a distraction from his responsibility for over 100,000 Americans dead by COVID-19 made worse by his inaction and dangerous make believe cures,
i have never hated anyone more in my life and im not anerican..and really shouldnt care..but you meed to vote out this ballsack in november
allinwithchris Let Trump be Trump. He is his own worst enemy. He’ll do himself in. Time for some slander lawsuits AT him. Time for his calling death to certain individuals to be called out as a threat. Time for him to just go away. Sick of him.
Great opportunity waiting for you today. Are you an upcoming artist or a business owner looking to increase your YouTube channel subscribers with more likes and view contact for more details thanks.
allinwithchris And then Twitter will finally shut down his accounts I they don’t get sued over his tweets. Win win?
Aka I want you to make it so I can sue them for putting fact checks on 2 out of my gazillian tweets I do a day that, 90% retweets of BS and the rest or my personal BS tweets. Anyone else feel like Trumps tantrum is insulting considering how long it took for him to act on COVID-19
Let’s all sign a petition for Twitter to BAN Orange Turkeyneck!! How bout that!
You can’t yell “fire” if there isn’t one so why should bald face lies be protected
So once again he signs a useless EO.
So he wants another propaganda platform?
I don't get it. Wouldn't that be counterproductive for Spanky? Facebook would be forced to take down all his fake ads. Twitter would be forced to censor his tweets. How do they see it as a good thing?
So by removing their 'shield'... doesn't this force them to then delete posts and accounts that post false or misleading information? Therefore, accomplishing the opposite of what he set out to do.
Another empty threat, Trump racks them up daily
this could actually lead to even more fact checks if now the platforms lose immunity from liability for user content 😂
Kick him off! Kick him off! Kick him off! Kick him off! Kick him off!
Why is Trump sending elete troops to Colombia?
Pinocchio’s Pants on Fire again !
Is this happening in America?. The dear supreme leader arbitrarily altered our 1st Amendment act because he was called out on his lies. Gradually we are becoming a banana republic under a rascal regime.
I'll be using a CitizensFactCheck hashtag on Trump posts that contradict the truth. I'll do my best to source and link to the correct information. It seems like the responsible thing to do.
realDonaldTrump You think this will benefit you, but it won't. Liberals have been wanting to sue social media outlets for the baseless contents of the QAnon, you, and other right-wing nut jobs. Do this, and you'll be completely offline like Alex Jones. Do it.
Just checking to see if Twitter is shut down. realDonaldTrump
Since the truth won’t win him votes, he has to rely on lies and innuendo. Another attempt to agitate his waning base & distract from the growing s dead. Pretty soon GOP Governor’s won’t be able to hide the numbers, pics of patients dying in corridors coming soon.
He’ll be terminating folks from the FCC soon HIEL $hitler
They will be removing his tweets first.
Well, you know Trump didn't come up with that because he doesn't read... or know the law... or have any cerebral skills. This man is run by his immature amygdala.
what an embarrassment to this country is this king with no clothing. november cant come soon enough.
He's opening up the door to Twitter policing his tweets with more scrutiny as the lawsuits pile up over his daily vitriol which includes defamation and libel.
Following Putin’s behavior. We live in Trumpistan now.
realDonaldTrump is the worst violator of anyone on Twitter. 😂 LMAO.
Ok ACLU, do your thing. Authoritarian creep must be opposed.
That too as well wow America if don’t get the freak orange guy out this is going to be NK, China or Russia
Trump posted fake news. And threw a tantrum when he got caught.
bantrumpfromtwitter
Every thing DT does or says the GOP is silent. When R they going 2 stand up 4 the people of this country & our Constitution. 100K Americans have died & they don't talk about it. All they care about is greed Voted 52 yrs. So disgusted today.
Another attempt to distract us
Does the moron know that he more than ANYONE else will be sued for all the lies he tweets?
OVER 100K DEATHS NOW!
