Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday that calls for "transparency and accountability from online platforms."
The order represents a remarkable and direct challenge to social media companies like Twitter and Facebook, and comes two days after Twitter fact-checked two of Trump's tweets pushing false claims about voting by mail. Among other things, the order takes aim at Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, a foundational law that has shaped today's internet and which shields internet companies from being held liable for content users post on their platforms.
Trump's order could completely reshape the internet landscape and undermine the business models of social media companies, but many legal experts say the order has significant flaws that may not hold up in court. The executive order comes at a time when the coronavirus has caused more than 100,000 deaths in the US and the Trump administration's reponse to the pandemic has been criticized, leading some observers to suggest the social media executive order is a convenient way for Trump to change the subject.
Not FB. Zuck is his bud. They won't fact check politicians.
Hopefully they will totally remove him fro Twitter. Let the fight go on in court. At least we would be rid of him.
Trump didn't declare war. Twitter tried to control opinions and wanted to become supreme judge to decide whats right and whats wrong.
Trump takes on Twitter and Facebook? He’s going into a knife fight holding while unarmed. He may be vicious, but he’s over his head. I get the feeling the end is near.
Such a baby. I really don’t understand how people follow him blindly.
FACT CHECK: Only Twitter. Trump is promoting Facebook on a tweet because Mark Zuckerberg is a spineless trump butt licking weasel! A total disgrace to Democracy.
So Petty...Can't wait to Vote. NOTrump
The good thing is that he has 6months left.
AG BARR: “These companies grew because they held themselves out as public forums... now that they’ve become these very powerful networks of eyeballs.. they’ve now switched and they are using that market power to force particular viewpoints.”
Twitter and other leftwing social media rowdies have been doing Soviet-style tyranny for years. Time to hold them all to account.
Out-of-work Americans need to declare war on Trump.
Well, trump is broke, jack is rich AF
