Online platforms"are engaging in selective censorship that is hurting our national discourse," the order says."Twitter, Facebook and the like are immune as platforms regardless of whether they edit, including in a politicized way," said Prof. Eugene Volokh, a conservative legal scholar at UCLA.

While the executive order directs the Federal Communications Commission to consider imposing new rules, Goldman said,"The FCC has no authority over this, because Congress hasn't delegated that authority. The FCC's opinion doesn't count."
