President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order seeking to crack down on social media companies after Twitter took the rare step this week of adding fact-checking labels to two of his tweets.
"This is not how the Constitution works," said Ashken Kazaryan, the director of civil liberties at libertarian technology policy think tank Tech Freedom. "The First Amendment protects Twitter from Trump, it does not protect Trump from Twitter." President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order seeking to crack down on social media companies after Twitter took the rare step this week of adding fact-checking labels to two of his tweets.
It says the head of each executive department and agency should review federal spending on advertising and marketing paid to online platforms. Additionally, the order directs the Federal Trade Commission to take action to prohibit "deceptive or unfair practices," and allow people to complain if they think the companies are acting in a way that goes against their own rules and practices.

'The First Amendment protects Twitter from Trump, it does not protect Trump from Twitter' Two of the agencies listed in the executive order, The Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission, are independent and enforcement of any executive order is ultimately up to them. Historically, the FCC has also had no authority to enforce Section 230.
Adam Candeub, deputy assistant secretary at NTIA has also indicated that he's not a fan of Section 230 and has advocated for reforming it,The government can regulate some speech, but 'not the decisions of private actors'
He's pitifully trying to look 'tough.'
He look more of a fool now 😆
The fact that he *tried* to do it based on being fact-checked is the horrifically troubling thing. You know authoritarians when they try and limit / control: - what choices people have - what people can see, hear, and know
Finely some Justice. Talking about rights Trump just does not want anyone to have them unless it benefits his agenda. How is Trump holding on to the presidency? A regular citizen would have been shut down and here Trump is one chaotic episode after another.
