Starkiller Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/27/trump-executive-order-social-media-twitter-285891 President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order aimed at social media companies on Thursday, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters Wednesday evening, a move that comes as the president and his allies have escalated their allegations that companies like Twitter and Facebook stifle GOP voices. McEnany told reporters aboard Air Force One that the order is “pertaining to social media” but shared no additional details on what it will do. But the announcement revived fears within the online industry that the Trump administration will target a 24-year-old statute that protects the companies from lawsuits — an avenue that a growing number of Republican lawmakers have advocated in their bias allegations about Silicon Valley. Trump and his supporters have been hammering Twitter since the social network labeled a pair of his tweets with a fact-checking notice for the first time on Tuesday, and the president pledged Wednesday that "big action" will follow.

I agree, it's amazing how democrats dropped the ball and have cried "uncle" having been such a huge factor behind so many senseless deaths. Due to China and the WHO holding out on the world and stifling responses while seeding countries worldwide with a deadly virus and what to democrats do besides handing out gold pens, ripping up a speech on the Virus, attempting to allow flights to keep infecting America??? The dumb asses intentionally seed retirement homes and veteran hospitals with China Virus infected patients even sending young infected people to retirement homes to beat and infect people including veterans... Then, on top of that, they attempt to destroy and hide the evidence while trying to put the blame on anyone they can... FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE!!!

OILERMAN Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200528/01321044592/two-things-to-understand-about-trumps-executive-order-social-media-1-distraction-2-legally-meaningless.shtml The Two Things To Understand About Trump's Executive Order On Social Media: (1) It's A Distraction (2) It's Legally Meaningless To be clear: the executive order is nonsense. You can't overrule the law by executive order, nor can you ignore the Constitution. This executive order attempts to do both. It's also blatantly anti-free speech, anti-private property, pro-big government -- which is only mildly amusing, given that Trump and his sycophantic followers like to insist they're the opposite of all of those things. But also, because the executive order only has limited power, there's a lot of huffing and puffing in there for very little actual things that the administration can do. It's very much written in a way to make Trump's fans think he's done something to attack social media companies, but the deeper you dig, the more nothingness you find.

I thought you libtards were populists but you always side with the multi billionaires. Hey idiot... Twitter is a private company and do what the fuck it wants. Trump is the one limiting their free speech. Get some basic understanding of your countries laws before embarrassing yourself again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanruss Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Thing is... Zuckerberg is begging Trump to come to facebook. That's where all the old ass crazies are anyways in their social safe zone groups where they can be racist as they want and no one notices. Trump could switch over pretty easily. Zuck fuck is just as big of a threat to society as anyone. He'd LOVE to be in charge of the narrative and already has political aspirations. Best we can hope for is Zuck has a stroke and someone with a conscious takes charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
