Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at curbing protections for social media giants

The executive order points out that social media companies, such asand Twitter, should forgo their legal immunity from the law, should they edit users' content on their platforms.

Currently, Section 230 offers legal protections to social media platforms, and makes it clear that those companies are not responsible for the content posted on their sites, and therefore should not interfere with it.The order will direct executive branch agencies to speak to independent rule-making agencies, such as the Federal Communications Commissioner, to look at whether new regulations can be enforced on the Silicon Valley giants.

You can in the US

You can shut it down cos they showed you were talking rubbish. Stop being a child

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The way you are threatening people Twitter will shut down your account Trump .

If we could legally get rid of Trump, we would.

But how would he run the country without his Pointless tweets 🤔

Let's distract from the fact that 100k people died on your watch.

Only cowards say such things we should rather be finding solutions on the current situation not cheap threats

And this is what the president is worried about, not the fact that the country is a mess with dying, the world think's is run by a mad man

How about you stop using it then!🤔

Despite sending 52 thousand messages realDonaldTrump now wants to ban it. 🙄

Twitter, please delete his account 🙏🏻

Mr Orange could just shut down his account.

I have a big willy...

Doesn’t stop him using twitter tho so that shows them

In December trump is out of the Whitehouse and the people / world we be happy😀 again .!

Mr trump is right here

Come on Twitter - block him

All the idiots who think this order limits free speech must be drinking “occupy democrats” kool aid. This order promotes free speech, which the social media giants censor and ban based on their left wing political bias.

SocialMedia started as platforms for free flow of views. They dreamed of a world where ideas can be exchanged fearlessly. But, something changed in the middle. Now, censorship is creeping up in these oasis of freedoms. President Trump is bringing back the freedom to social media.

Yep, we are definitely fed up with Trump's lies.

Long overdue 'ACTION' & 'SANCTION' against the social media companies are required. They claim they are not publishers! - twitter Facebook Youtube . Your time is up!

Ffs cause Twitter didn't like his tweet . pathetic indeed

Когда будут хорошие новости?

All these major platforms need more competition,not more restrictions,even though the likes of Facebook / YouTube -Google / Twitter are purging more Right wing views.

He's got a point

Before big techs grow into giant monsters, I hope the US government can ASAP take effective measures to prevent them from doing evil.

Youtube puts covid information on many videos. Isnt Twitter allowed to do same? This threat makes no sense. It is scaring me. Twitter is my main source of social that I dont want to lose because some pretty face doesnt like ads, Tweeting is a privilege, not a right.

How come nobody is there to stop him. Has the US Judicial system become defunct?

nivv aas are the most likely choice for asian women. Ban this comment BarackObama :,,,,)

My only reply to anything this moron says from now on....'whatever'.......seriously my dog is more intellectually stimulating, and he has better morals.

Excludes you then..

LAND OF THE FREE MY ARSE . YOU ARE NOW RULED BY DICTATOR

Pity he couldn’t tweet about it 🤣🤣🤣

Land of the free? America has fallen!

They will have plenty to practice on with his accounts because his comments leave a lot to be desired to say the least lol . If there not borderline racist there derogatory or dangerous with drug propaganda or mostly just plain bloody stupid

And...along with everything else he’s done is a waste of time brought about by his stupidly & thin skin. The bloke is an ass.
