WASHINGTON—A draft of an executive order President Trump is expected to sign on Thursday would seek to limit the broad legal protection that federal law currently provides social-media and other online platforms, according to people familiar with the draft.
The draft order would make it easier for federal regulators to hold companies such as Twitter and Facebook liable for curbing users’ speech, for example by suspending their accounts or deleting their posts, the people said.
When Trump wants to whine really loud, & he knows that either he will never get a bill through Congress &/or he knows he has no legal authority to do what he wants to do, he signs an executive order & stamps his feet like a child so that all his lemmings think he’s done something
Facebook, among others, is mostly a garbage heap of ads, scams and useless information. At best, a waste of time. Consumer beware.

If it wasn’t for president Trump no one will look at Tweeter they better pray for him not the other way around. Tweeter and Facebook are a Democratic propaganda machine just like most of the so called news networks. They are Corrupt just like the Democratic Party
Mussolini reincarnation.👺
There is nothing presidential about the White House oaf. He does not have, has never had, and will never have the good of America at heart. His only concern is his own fragile ego. Attempting to stifle social media is just another dictatorial action by a bully.
Read the Constitution. You can sign Executive Orders from now until you have a brain and it won't change a thing. You cannot muzzle a privately owned company without getting rid of the 1st Amendment and your Executive pow is limited there, asshole.
Wish I could read the entire article but I think it's needed. We have free speech in this county, it needs to be protected.
Great news as millions could sue Trump and Co.
Should eliminate it
A president of the United States is taking action to promote and protect the spreading of hate speech and lies online? What horror movie is this?
What a snowflake.
And they say a woman is too emotional to be president 🤦♀️🙄
He's now enabling terrorist groups to recruit on social media; foreign nations to wage psychological warfare on the U.S., etc. God help us. What an idiot!
The 3 major US social media platform companies, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter, have already been infiltrated by the Chinese government. I hope the U.S. government will not ignore the beginning of these evil acts that endanger the freedom of speech of people all over the world.
More concerned over being fact checked than the deaths of over 100,000 ppl. TrumpDeathToll100K
Awwww tRumps pu**y got hurt
freedom of speech?
Social media censorship of conservatives is identical to PSYOP missions conducted by US and foreign special forces groups, but on a MUCH larger scale. Needs to be addressed.
Good
Twitter did not censor him, did not silence him, did not keep him from speaking (even though Trump violates Twitter’s rules). Twitter merely pointed out that Trump is lying. TrumpLiesEveryTimeHeSpeaks
. realDonaldTrump has a fit because Twitter fact-checked 2 misleading tweets of his with potential negative impact in the coming elections.
It's really simple: If they refuse to act like platforms that support free speech and varied sides of issues, then they should no longer be afforded the protections that such platforms enjoy.
Is the US turning into China? Freedom of speach!
Absolutely necessary and long overdue!

Stop crying trump
You can make heaven out of hell, or hell out of heaven. Let your mind see the positives in life☀️
Stop making this a thing. Focus on what matters. This is helping Trump deflect the actual issue: his failure and incompetence to handle the pandemic and the thousands dead as a result. His twitter tantrums should not be news.
He’s really working hard to keep spreading his lies, and to destroy freedom of speech for Americans.
After being censored by Twitter, Trump threatened to sign an Executiveorder to limit federal protections of social-media platforms. Soon afterwards, Zuckerberg goes on Fox News, blasting Twitter, and saying Facebook would never fact check Trump. The MAGA slap!
En mayo, el Sr. Trump tuiteó que la 'Izquierda radical' estaba en 'control total' de Facebook, Instagram, Twitter y Google y dijo que la administración estaba 'trabajando para remediar esta situación ilegal'. (Que extraño secuestro político-egocrático de la idea de legalidad)
If he limits twitter will jack finally kick him off the platform and immediately bury his megaphone? Its the only way his cult keeps up with him. You think maga idiots are going to going to follow him on fucking Instagram?
Big baby got his hand slapped. Now he is throwing a temper tantrum
he's about to learn who really runs everything.
Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to 'strongly regulate' or even shut down social media platforms after Twitter applied a fact-check to two of his tweets this week.
Does that include Fox, Breitbart, Rush, Alex Jones, Daily Wire, and other right wing media outlets that amplify disinformation?
Big mistake.
Poor baby doesn't like being fact check!
Don’t pay attention.. actually it is an hoax!!!
Fine whatever, start a court case that will last until your are out of office.
To be fair, they are hurting his campaign. If Trump isn’t able to spout off lies without consequence, he doesn’t really even have a platform
Now he attacks our free speech, but grenade launchers are still OK.
When the black guy was in charge, I was told executive orders were dictatorial. wrongcuzobama
Sure, sure......good luck with all that.
So he can't refute the notion he shares intentionally false information. He can't provide any real proof for his thoughts. So, the answer is to threaten and intimidate those challenging him. His level of fragility gets worse by the day. Such a truly weak man.
Priorities...
Censor like a publisher, get treated like a publisher
Abuse of power. Vote him out!

So now we're going to have state-run social media? What is this, North Korea?
All this because Twitter fact-shamed him publicly. This is one of the sign that the USA is under a severe dictatorship.
Leaking as a way of life.
'You hurt my feelings! No freedom of speech for you!'
Authoritarian!
Trump is a baby
And if there's not a law on books? Idiocy & word vomit being invented by corruption syndicate is just words. Precedent for it? No? Mean its not legal? But more of same, being put forth, just solely because it comes from a once respected office? Now lawless white noise bigot cult.
BadLegalTakes
In other words, social media can no longer control their content. This would be an executive fail order.
Nothing resembling a dictatorship here.. 😳
As we consider Trump’s Executive Order going after a social media company we turn to today’s episode of “imagine the GOP outrage if Obama did this”
Increasingly, the voice of the media does not represent public opinion, More on behalf of the capital... 😞
Honouring the memory of George Floyd Minneapolis Looting
How Hitler of Trump. Trump is the worst President in American history!
Awe, little baby Trump gonna cry? Mean ole Twitter not playing nice.
This is long overdue. They should also make it criminal to abuse their monopoly power. They will grow up quickly.
Now that is his lies are caught, realDonaldTrump cries wolf. How much fun and relief it would be to see his schoolboy tweets no longer on twitter.
It won’t be worth a bucket of warm spit.
awww his psyop weapon has turned against him now he wants to take his ball and go home
So Twitter cannot have Free Speech under Trumps Government? Trump is the Brownshirt.....how did you kids even graduate High School without knowing this? TrumpGate
Use a period at the end of your sentences. You’re the Wall Street Journal, not a meme account.
