News of the proposed executive order came after Trump attacked Twitter for tagging the president’s tweets about unsubstantiated claims of fraud in mail-in voting with a warning prompting readers to fact-check the posts.
The draft order, as written, attempts to circumvent Congress and the courts in directing changes to long-established interpretations of Section 230. It represents the latest attempt by Trump to use the tools of the Presidency to force private companies to change policies that he believes are not favorable to him.
U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Trump’s planned order “outrageous” and a “distraction” from the current coronavirus crisis. Twitter Chief Executive Jack Dorsey said on the company’s website late Wednesday that the president’s tweets “may mislead people into thinking they don’t need to register to get a ballot. Our intention is to connect the dots of conflicting statements and show the information in dispute so people can judge for themselves.”
The order asks the FCC to examine whether actions related to the editing of content by social media companies should potentially lead to the firms forfeiting their protections under section 230.
Fake dictator.

I would assume the content must be truthful otherwise you would be signing into law a person who could fill web pages w lies and more lies deceiving the public which I would think would be from deceiving to illegal.
Que hombre con falta de humor este Trump no le aprende a nuestro presidente se caga de la risa hasta de las tallas de su hermano
Soviet States of America
All of this because
So if a drunk driver kills someone, we can blame Chevy?
He hasn't thought this through has he.
Dictatorship is on the way.
As democracy slowly disappears under trump.
Trump is wasting time with this stupid vanity stuff, in stead he could be working on America's real problems!
Re internet liability of content - good - now we can sue Trump for the lies that he spews!
Dictatorship here we come!!!
He has to change it so he can lie even more
Well I think he spoke too soon. The WH is running around to come up with some way to change Section 230 that will make no difference but Trump will feel in control and a winner. This is a game while many are dying, others wondering how to eat, others scared to leave to house. ?
I wish he was acting on Covid19 as fast as he’s acting on Twitter facts check on his tweets.
Can you measure 50 billion people?
He has not really thought this out. I hope all the people he has lied about and spread conspiracies get to sue him
Does he actually realise this would literally cause a million court cases against him for liability with his dumb tweets.
Why can’t this be applied to guns? Any gun sold to kill kids in school will make the manufacturer liable too.
Trump doesn't understand that Section 230 is why he can post targeted harassment and threats that Twitter won't remove.
No one is above the Law! 😁
Can't wait to sue Twitter over things they allow Trump to post, lol. Know any good lawyers
He won't, Facebook let's him lie. He can't make any order that punishes Twitter and not Facebook
Neo-Nazis and the rest of your base must be heard...
I hope this will first up young people who live on Twitter, Facebook and other media outlets to vote Trump out! He is messing with the heart of mass communication. Vote him out. He has to go!
Shocking revelations
Some are saying that Trump doesn't have a say on how private companies are run. Does he?
Leave alone but Twitter to be sued
Isn't a change to that protection make the companies even more likely to fact check or disclaimer problematic content? That should put conspiracy theorists out of business.
What a baby. What a literal baby.
But, but, but all those people talking about freedom? Do they agree with it? lol They are private companies, they are not doing anything illegal.
He also plans to track private citizens for comments. Why?
The ultimate poster waging the ultimate war on mods. Good thing he's already got all the other problems solved so he can focus on posting.😆
If they are going to be liable for their criminally negligent users then Trump's account should be the first to go.
Good. He doesn’t even see how much damage this does to him more than anything. Everyone ready to sue Trump?
Wouldn’t that be even more reason to take down donald trumps factually incorrect statements?
Now we can sue the fuck out of Facebook.
And allows them to moderate content. That has been used in many cases to moderate with a political bias yet be free from liability. They shouldn’t have it both ways.
'By barring social media... from using... nuanced forms of moderation they currently employ, the executive order could force them to resort to heavy-handed actions: deleting posts, or blocking users, rather than simply factchecking...' - The Guardian Newspaper 5.28.20
And that review would have to pass through Congress? A PR gimmick I guess coz he knows that stands no chance.
So trump would get an instant ban because he is a liability to twitter.
DELETE YOUR ACCOUNTS AND PROBLEM SOLVED.

Trump wants to sue twitter because they tell people he lies.
Oh man... I hope JoeNBC sues the shit out of realDonaldTrump for those disgusting misleading posts. All Americans should sue Trump for the harm he has put the nation through.
He didn't get the memo: You are allowed to say anything you want without consequence or criticism as long as you follow it with the disclaimer that you're saying that politically. It's right there in the First Amendment.
So he is going to change the law that would make them have to fact check him more. Right?
it's about time
Social media companies are failing to moderate content spreading malicious information. Companies must be held liable for failing to moderate content!
Oh what’s the matter, he’s upset he can’t spread his lies over the social media? There’s not one intelligent and eloquent thing he has ever said anyway. He’s a narcissistic POS!
President Law suit. That's all he knows.
