US President Donald Trump said he will introduce legislation that may scrap or weaken a law that has long protected internet companies, including Twitter and Facebook

Mr Trump has signed an executive order after attacking Twitter for tagging his tweets about unsubstantiated claims of fraud in mail-in voting with a warning prompting readers to fact-check the posts.

Yesterday, Reuters reported the White House's plan to modify Section 230 based on a copy of a draft order.The President's remarks and the draft order, as written, attempts to circumvent Congress and the courts in directing changes to long-established interpretations of Section 230. Others like Jack Balkin, a Yale University constitutional law professor said "The president is trying to frighten, coerce, scare, cajole social media companies to leave him alone and not do what Twitter has just done to him."

He and his supporters have leveled the same unsubstantiated charges against Facebook, which Mr Trump's presidential campaign uses heavily as an advertising vehicle.

Time now get rid of trump from Twitter he is using social media for his own use stand up and be counted Twitter you will be there for years to come. Trump is just a no body of President that don't care about anybody but him self

Fascism

The phrasing is interesting. Verb selection: scrap, weaken, protected. Social media giants interfer in elections and have been weaponised by left wing extremists. They need to be held accountable for misinformation and bias, just like RTE.

the tech giants censorship of the conservative voice needs to be stopped. It’s undemocratic.

He could stop using Twitter if he is so unhappy with them?

This will bite him in the ass. He spends his whole time spreading hate,division and conspiracy theories on social media. He has been pure entertainment though.

executive order signed by Trump on Thursday points out that their status as platforms, and immunity from endless civil lawsuits, depends on their removal of controversial content being done “in good faith.”..Seems very reasonable..Same as what applies to newspapers and magazines

Would be funny if they just shut his twitter account down. Go on jack. You know you want to. :)

Can't listen to this frobr man for corporate, rulers of America.

Meanwhile, the pandemic in the US reached new milestones and cities are facing protests and riots

Child throws tantrum and breaks favorite toy

But But But How are the Russian Trolls going to influence the election for the orange one?

This law means the normal laws of libel that apply to RTE or newspapers.....Dont apply to Facebook or Utube...Legally they are seen as media platforms not publishers...That is why they are reluctant to remove content as they are not publishers...Gives them an unfair advantage..

Twitter should just suspend his account and let’s see what happens then. He is nothing if not entertaining when he is having a wobbler.

All because one of his tweets got fact checked. Imagine the president of America being so childish, unfortunately it’s not that surprising to anyone anymore

And just like that, the entirity of the internet is going to go for his throat.

Sure didn’t Donald and Kim invent the internet

Dopey Donald again!!!

Sure his not going to ban the outlet that feeds his ego.

He is aware he spends most of his life on Twitter right?

What can i say. He is always focusing on non important, pathetic stuff.

Meanwhile Twitter

He really is pathetic, isn't he?
