Donald Trump signs Exec Order to curb big tech’s ‘Unchecked Power’

[progressive hunter]

Yanno, if Obama had signed an executive order like this, you conservatives would be screaming bloody murder.

Obama WOULD sing an EO like this. Hes from the left

Bullshit. Obama never signed something like this, nor did he ever bring it up, so no, you don't know if he would.

And for all you idiots who think that Twitter is censoring Trump, it helps to know what the word "censor" means.

Twitter has not modified Trump's tweets in any way, all they did was place a tag on it calling it questionable information. Sorry, but no, Trump is not being censored.

this isnt about censorship its about the special protections they get for being a platform instead of a publisher,,,

once they started altering/editing peoples comments they became a publisher and lose all those protections,,,

These days it's hard to come by anyone who isn't banned from Twatter. They ban anyone whose American opinions they don't like.

Time to bake the cake.

Trump hasn't been banned, and no, he's not being censored like he's trying to claim.

Trump supporters demand the cake, twitter better bake it.

Oh...................so now you want to move the goalposts eh? Sorry, not gonna play. Trump hasn't been censored, and he's still on Twitter, so therefore, Twitter isn't censoring Trump.

But since you can't defend that, you move the goalposts to include all conservatives who you say were banned, while letting "leftist agitators" run free, according to you.

Altering or editing would apply if they modified what Trump actually said. They didn't. And adding a tag saying it's questionable information isn't censoring. In order to censor someone, you have to modify, edit, or delete part of what they said. Twitter didn't modify his tweets, and the tag isn't modifying it, no matter how much your fevered brain tells you it is.

Not sure anyone really cares about the law in this..but Trump's XO is a fart in the wind..nothing more:


Legal experts 'ratio' Trump's executive order aimed at social media companies

The executive order, signed Thursday, would direct several parts of the federal government to examine the conduct of Internet companies with an eye toward further restrictions. But any such move would accomplish very little under a law passed at the dawn of the Internet age and because an executive order cannot change the law.
In 1996, Congress said websites cannot be held legally responsible for the content posted by their users. That's true whether Internet companies simply automatically pass along whatever is submitted or screen it beforehand.
The law also protects a website's efforts to remove content that's obscene, violent or otherwise violates its terms of service. Congress especially wanted to prevent the posting of child pornography.
Trump's order, however, said those companies lose that legal protection if they restrict the views that can be expressed on their websites. Online platforms "are engaging in selective censorship that is hurting our national discourse," the order says.
But legal experts said that's not how the law works.
"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. "Like it or not, this was a deliberate decision by Congress."
Some might prefer a different model, in which websites that restrict a user's speech become liable for the speech they allow. "But Congress rejected this model," Volokh said.
That's been the settled law for more than 25 years, according to Prof. Eric Goldman, who teaches Internet law at Santa Clara University.
"The whole point of the law was to give Internet companies the power to decide what they thought was fit for their audience," he said. "It was intended to encourage and protect editorial discretion, not to eliminate it."
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."

 

[Lakhota]

The president cannot regulate tech companies without congressional approval and any challenge to their autonomy is sure to end up in court.

“The president has no authority to rewrite a congressional statute with an executive order imposing a flawed interpretation of Section 230,” the ACLU continued, referring to the section of the Communications Decency Act that shields platforms from being held liable for what users publish on them.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey fired back at the criticism, saying the company would “continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally. And we will admit to and own any mistakes we make.”

“This does not make us an ‘arbiter of truth,’” Dorsey said. “Our intention is to connect the dots of conflicting statements and show the information in dispute so people can judge for themselves. More transparency from us is critical so folks can clearly see the why behind our actions.”

Trump Signs Social Media Executive Order

The president acted against social media companies after Twitter attached a fact-check label to two of his baseless claims.

The problem YOU have is that what Twitter did was unacceptable as a Social Platform set up, which they were supposed to be fully neutral in, the flagging is what a publisher would do, which Twitter is not.

Amazed leftists can't distinguish the difference between Social Platform and Publishing.

 

[SavannahMann]

Actually, what President Trump would need is a law. The purpose of the law would be to shield Twitter and other online messaging services, or chatroom, or even things like this. That way they could not be sued for failing to censor speech.

 

[Dr Grump]

It means Jack Shit

Trump doesn't care if he wins his fight with Twitter, he just wants the battle

The social media executive order Trump signed today is not a mortal blow to freedom of speech - but the threat of action might make Twitter back off.

www.smh.com.au

"Trump regularly issues dramatic and headline-grabbing threats that later come to nothing. After threatening to rain down "fire and fury" on North Korea, he ended up cosying up to Kim Jong-un.

More often than not, Trump's goal is projecting an image of power rather than exercising it.

The social media executive order Trump unveiled, is the latest example of his bark being far worse than his bite. It's neither the mortal blow to freedom of speech that some had feared nor the bold action against social media companies that his supporters would like to celebrate.

That's because Trump's main goal is not to win his fight with Twitter. The point is to have the fight. Grievance politics are central to Trump's political brand and his appeal to conservatives. In his narrative, the media, the bureaucratic "deep state", university experts and social media companies are all part of a leftist conspiracy out to get him and his fellow Republicans.

Trump, though, doesn't have the power to make Section 230 go away. Congress would have to pass legislation overturning it."
