WASHINGTON—President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday seeking to limit the broad legal protection that federal law currently provides to social-media and other online platforms, a move that is expected to draw immediate court challenges.
The order seeks to make it easier for federal regulators to hold companies such as Twitter Inc. and Facebook Inc. liable if they are deemed to be unfairly curbing users’ speech by, for example, suspending their accounts or deleting their posts.
Picture for a GREAT LEADER!!
When he starts crying, you know he is lying
TWITTER....STING TRUMP until he screams very loud. Don’t let trump walk all over the social media platform.
Twitter TwitterComms have gone overboard trying to push a liberal agenda. They need to stop.
It is what it is! 🤮
All laws are enforced with violence. Anyone who tweets in support of any law is glorifying violence.
My news feed is 80% minneapolis protests. Congressbitch Omar is cheering this on. But, Trump broke the rules? This is why Twitter needs to be put in it's place.

Thank you Twitter.
Well to be fair he is the Antichrist.
Thank you Twitter.
He is using this to distract other things he is failing. People should get smarter about his low life tactic.
Good luck with that dt
FAKE NEWS. NO-ONE SHOULD PURCHASE THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. I STOPPED IT. GO PRESIDENT TRUMP.
Ban trump from all social media then
Get a new outlet.. We will follow.
So the Looting, rioting, and Arson he was referring to is now just “protests”
If Twitter, FB, you tube have their own rules, paid to block people account because offended their big boss soro & Democrab. Why criticize Mr President?
Based Trump.
He’s stupid and think he’s above the law like these police officers
Everything Trump touches dies. Don’t forget that.
Real question is, why wouldn't the tech platforms go after and shut down child porn? Seems odd, doesn't it?
Trump is trying to add gasoline to the fire. He truly is clueless in how to handle any issues in US just as Indian PM can't handle any issues in India
thank you mr. Trump for slapping the so-called socials medias WRIST, should have used a broom-handle
I think realDonaldTrump violated rules when he bragged about grabbing pus*ies...
Twitter crashed Twitter only has to eat Democrats' feces
Where were they when he threatened nuclear war?
Finally someone is proving to have the ability to prevail over Jack Dorsey and his dictatorial Twitter management. The god will soon be the dog!
I think Twitter made a mistake. I read a lot of twitter that glorifies violence more. He POTUS wrote that the National Guard can shoot, if the pillage is not controlled. Don't forget, the citizen of those stores can shoot in legitimate defense and the law protects them
Poor little Twitter. Mean Trump been hurting their little tiny feelings all week long. Have a cookie
Twitter, I choose you! Flagging attack, now!
Screw him
taesanpanguk HE DID
Guess it’s close enough to the November election for Twitter to stop pretending.
I thought he's really didn't care about some ruls.
Correct
$20.00 usd dollar, enough to lose an entire city.
Silly me, I thought he said he would stop the violence.
Shoooooo
He didn’t he stated a fact
What a load of rubbish ...Twitter can’t be serious. Blatant bias!
He is rooting for further violence in order to distract the 100 000 Americans dead 💀. This man is a monster knows no boundaries.
But not colin Kaepernick with his tweet huh ...hypocrites
Protests You mean the Looting, riots, and arson
Here’s the tweet they deleted. HumanRights TrumpVirus HongKong China
Этот белобрысый мужик с рожей деревенского русского мужика, сильно смахивает на президента США!?Или я неправильно перевёл текст и чего то непонял?
Mr. Tent-Pants is definitely going to wet his diaper today
YES, TRUMP ALWAYS VIOLATES RULES AND GOES BACK ON HIS WORD. WHAT A TERRIBLE, PITY, AND FAKE PRESIDENT! TRUMP THREATS TO SHUT DOWN TWITTER ONLY BECAUSE TWITTER HAVE DIFFERENT VOICES. THE DEMOCRATIC US CAN ALLOW THIS PRESIDENT BEHAVIOR? NO! NEITHER THE WHOLE WORLD!
Getting mad 🥴
Thank you ,17-year-old Darnella Frazier filmed and who shared the original video clip .You are a courageous young woman !! Before your 10 minute video, cops were sprouting 'resisting arrest' YOU STOPPED THAT LIE
Glorifying violence? Calling rioters burning a city is glorifying violence. Trying to stop it is the opposite. The left is a lost cause.
How is this statement going to do anything but make it worse. Those people are citizens and he’s saying he will send soldiers in to shoot them. He is insane, or an idiot, or both.
Twitter has no right to judge Trump's tweet or anyone's tweets. If they do, there's no freedom of speech! It violates the democracy that America stands for.
YouTube twitter Facebook don't want govt censor them, but they act a role of censorship by themselves. They censor & delete messages by their own interests without open & clear guidelines known & consensus by users & people. They can now control FreedomOfSpeech by their rules
“Protests” Interesting, so if I go to a bank and demand money from everyone else’s accounts by threatening force, then I’m a “customer” not a criminal? 🙄 “Protests...” yeah, go f**k yourselves.
With Trump in the saddle, America is much like one of those empires of old.
If you mess with the bull, you get the horns...
Proof again that Trump is nothing but a Twitter troll. 🤪
Wham bam, thank you, orange bag of puke!
Sliding down the slippery slope into semantic hell. Next watch out for 'dog whistles' in tweets being in violation...or allusions....jack is going to crash the Twitter car if not careful.
It's Twitters platform, Mr. T isn't forced to use it, so Twitter can say what they want on their own platform.
Thoughts and prayers Dotard
TQ Twitter
There is no point now to keep him on Twitter. Delete the menacing bastard. Show him how things are without 230 protection -- Twitter becomes legally responsible for dRUmpf's tweets. He's demonstrated a complete disregard for rules, and he's not likely to EVER change.
NOBODY CARES ABOUT WHAT TWITTER SAYS. THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN POLITICAL HACKS.
jack off.
Twitter is dealing with realDonaldTrump...decisively. I’m here for it
How about: Trump knowingly violated twitter rules. There, fixed it fir you.
He’s just expressing how he really feels about the Black community. No secret there. It’s a conundrum for him since he has to play nice for a few months to get some black votes. Wish I had a platform to share with our communities how dangerous it would be to vote for him.
concerning- twitter should not be an arbiter
Twitter is going down...to Chy-nah town
Trump again!
That’s ok..... Everybody is moving over to parler.... 🍻
Censorship in America... how will he rule his kingdom without Twitter?
Why does trump want to help protesters in other countries but wants to murder black protesters in America 25thAmendmentNow
wow ,this time.twitter ,you acted like a stifler. look at facebook...coward.
Shop owners* Not national guard. Twitter will again have to RETRACT ITS EDIT !!! BWAAAAA HAAAAA HAAAA 2 FOR 2 !
Yes he did and he should be jailed.
40 million unemployed. Many more not counted. Riots due to murder of a black man right in front of us, just the latest example. Its the 30’s and 60’s combined fueled by Zuckerberg, his bots, and an idiot in the WH.
Before big techs grow into giant monsters, I hope the US government can take effective measures to prevent them from doing evil.
Trump just stop it u fuk wit.
Twitter employees are posting falsehoods about the white house and blatantly ignoring their own Terms of Service.
Con Don is so Pathetic.
The absurdity that comes out of this mouth. Loves to utilize the first amendment yet doesn't like others to use the first amendment against him. And, he doesn't have the power to shut down Twitter. Never seen someone with such thin skin.
It was a lie. Trump lies. Trump simply refuse to take responsibility for his own bad behaviour. Moron
Fear of the relentless wrath of the Donald is well documented! He attacks anyone that may disagree with him, crush them ! Authoritarianism/Dictatorship 101 ! Dosen't exactly seem like he's promoting peace, & love they neighbor ?
Why TRUMP upset, he uses Twitter to degrade people everyday. Don't he know he can uninstall and stop using social media. What goes around comes around lol
it really doesn't do much of anything. but I know you need the clicks.
His would be the first to go ...!
realDonaldTrump follow through on your threat and delete your Twitter accounts Please
Trump is burning America. The most pathetic man ever elected to be the leader of the once known as the beacon of freedom in the world! We are now totally and utterly a banana republic! Shame on the GOP.
Legitimate and overdue move.
民主是个好东西，大统领天天像是在演话剧。天堂即地狱，只在一念间。
Thank you President Trump. Social media is becoming fascists. They need to be reigned in
Good decision.. fake news dangerous for humanity.
Trump wants to lie without being questioned! Simple as that!
Trump tweeted a video of his cowboy supporter saying “the only good democrat is a dead democrat.” This alone should ban him for life from any social media.
It’s NOT about Him. He can go **^% himself. I’m sick of his childish ass. GMAFB. Tell him to go play with crayons. There’s a solution for it. He needs to STOP lying.
But he uses it so much and now that is against him, he wants to stop it?! If this is not afraid, I don't know what it is...
Seems more like he ended it!
A person who can’t even spell social media shouldn’t be attempting to govern it.
Twitter should cancel Trump's account. Everything he posts is a lie.
If they don’t treat conservatives as neutral, they don’t deserve legal protection. The first amendment applies to all Americans 1A
realDonaldTrump is just afraid his bullshit will be more exposed than it already is.
How will Trump be re elected if he can't lie?
Donald Trump’s move on social media was a smokescreen because he doesn’t want the media talking about the 100,000 Americans who have died on his watch, because of his failure to lead and act. TrumpGenocide
If they want to be a 'Platform' they shouldn't be handling any content. If they want to be a 'Publisher', then they have the right to express their opinion. They can't have both.
At least 37 people have been shot dead by police as Minnesota uses the National Guard in an emergency. Minneapolis insists that people's reasonable protest is considered a riot
I call this socialist 🇨🇳
100,000 Dead Americans! Priorities fool, priorities!
SocialMedia started as platforms for free flow of views. They dreamed of a world where ideas can be exchanged fearlessly. But, something changed in the middle. Now, censorship is creeping up in these oasis of freedoms. President Trump is bringing back the freedom to social media.
We now officially have a dictator wanna be. Trump really does hang out with and adoringly admire their ability to crush perceived enemies. Twitter simply offered a fact check option for anyone who wanted to look. No one required to look.
But now Twitter can censor his tweets with his blessing.
The way to go! These social media has double standards.
I wish Trump would react this passionately to things that actually matter.
If the FCC removes liability protections from Twitter then I will be suing to have Trump’s Twitter account removed. realDonaldTrump ExecutiveOrder circleofthetyrants
We the people need to fact-check anyone who believes he is above the law. Just because you think it may be right does not mean it is. DT is acting like Hilter. We do not want or need a Hilter or Hilter maybe. say
I support Donald Trump. I can’t go one day in Twitter without being banned 🐒
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.What an emo bitch
I am guessing that as president he is immune from the exec order and will be allowed to spread misinformation while targeting factual reports.
Fair is fair why should they have more protection than you or I
Thank you very much realDonaldTrump
Really you’re not gonna put a link to the order? Tf?
IMO the last thing realDonaldTrump cares about is fairness. He wouldn't need members of his administration to swear loyalty to him and sign nondisclosure agreements if he did.
Truth justice and the American way the world needs superman and we get the world's greatest liar.
Cool... so does that apply to shadow banning as well? That will change the face of social media platforms by a bit.
Do this that the orange one can be sue for his lies.
“Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.” – Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
Maybe he should protect people on the streets first!
This is so stupid lol
46th
Social media has been censoring it's content on request or due to their business interests & able to control and block freedom of expression ! There has it legal provisions to end this soft power to make them accountable for their action to maintain freedom of expression !
no liability coverage, no Trump tweets
It’s simple for everybody. Just tweet others as you would like to be tweeted.
All time spent on this by you, and by us reading it, is time we'll never collectively get back. Jerks.
So basically trump what’s the ability to sue twitter?
The administration is trying to legally? protect their right to mislead and lie. Honesty is no longer a part of the American vocabulary. The rest of the world should side with Twitter. Just the facts m'aam.
Its's about time.
the shame of human being
In the words of the great Freddy Mercury: “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?” 🤦🏻♂️
Clearly written by a Democrat
The con artist Trump can dish it out liableously but his ego can’t handle a pin prick.
The administration is trying to legally protect their right to mislead and lie. Honesty is no longer a part of the American vocabulary. The rest of the world should side with Twitter. Nothing but the facts m'aam.
There can’t be enough fact-checking of this president.
Horse hockey
He can seek all he wants. Statute can only be changed by Congress.
Just another EO that does not do anything. Waste of paper, ink, moreover, taxpayer dollars. .realDonaldTrump could have spent this wasted time on something that was actually important to America.
jack suspend his account
Umm Fascism sure smells good today.
JoannaStern He still does not know what free speech actually means.
He is fast .. undoubtedly 👍
And everyone else's tweets they didn't want shared
DBChirpy trumps attempt to silence criticism of him. Instead it shines a light on his weaknesses and makes many seek out what it is he’s hiding. abc cbs nbc cnn foxnewsradio WKYT KERN1180
Straight up fascist! Next step, silence all press/media other than official state-sponsored platform (Fox News early favorite, but stay tuned as their recent lack of obedience has prompted the leader of the free world to search for more compliant outlet).
all this man does if fucking cry for fucks sake lmao he’s mad cus twitter fact checked him
6 more months.
AnonsSynonymous
Good job mr President. We need to keep protect free speech in America thank you for not bowing to the liberal fascists and communist China 🇨🇳
Here goes freedom of Speech 😠
'Trump retaliates against social media companies with unconstitutional exec order after Twitter fact-checked his tweets' - fixed it for you.
The lengths this fat man goes to hide lies and facts under the cloak of his lawyers
So basically “I don’t like what was said about me so I’m sueing!” realDonaldTrump ? What a waste of time and resources obamagate
Let’s remember that this is what he is putting as priority right now during a pandemic... The fact that this is the most pressing issue for him when people are protesting for georgefloyd and blacklivesmatter all over the country is disturbing to say the least.
It's going to backfire on Trump.. how could it not? He had no legal grounds to stand on except he's a victim of Twitter abuse 🙄 We the People have the Bill of Rights This another temper tantrum bc Twitter Jack swatted Trump's hand.. waa, was. I'm President and Your not! See?
Limits their liability protections....what is wrong with that?
As a private company, Twitter can suspend Trump's account for intending to harm the company by his executive order. That should drive Trump crazy! lol.
This will die on appeal
I say turn off Twitter until after the election!
With all the challenges we have going on in our country today and think of the energy his staff had to expend in the past two days because he got his feeling hurt with 'alternative' facts FactCheck FactCheckTrump
Insecure, petty, petulant man seeks revenge using the power of the U.S. presidency because a social media platform called him out on his lies. This week, 100,000 Americans died in a pandemic due in part to his incompetent national response. The Trump admin in a nutshell.
They should have banned him!
Manchild throws a temper tantrum while the U.S. body count and unemployment numbers go up. Don the Con is a complete and utter failure as a President.
Trump has huge meltdown at Twitter for attaching warning labels to his FREE false advertising. News at 11
You mean: 'fact' checked or 'fact' checked or even ?fact? checked. Take your pick. CensorshipFreaks ControlFreaksEverywhere
I think all that hydrochloroquine got him all loopy 🤣 or maybe it was drinking the bleach, or staring at the eclipse...
Then I guess your own reporter is lying on his own Twitter account?
Trump is Toddler wannabe Fascist in Chief.
just another distraction from the 100,000+ deaths. Waste of time
Hope you get everything you deserve Jack; your choice of fact checkers must have been made under the influence of hallucinogens.
Zuckerberg is a kid diddler. Check his background
I just wanna be able to show my tits.
I am stupid, so may I ask a stupid question? Is there no freedom in the US to say what people want to say ?
Today marks the death of 100k plus Americans. 40 million folks have no jobs. Trump will do anything to distract. He abuses the power to he has to change the subject. His actions are newsworthy. This successful strategy of his works regularily unfortunately to avoid accountability
Donald is butt hurt cause he was called out on his bullshit. Good job Twitter. This is why you’re like better than Facebook
Trump’s condoning of militant, armed protestors and his willingness to insight an anarchistic form of resolution to issues inevitably and without doubt creates a national culture which precipitates violence and oppression of minorities BlackLivesMatter GeorgeFloydWasMurdered
Now we will see more White Nationalists, White Supramicst, KKK, RSS content on line. Twitter Facebook Google WhiteSupremacists BJP_RSS RSSTerrorists
Should have happened already. These social media companies are very political and using infrastructure that belongs to the people bc local state government control who sits on phone poles- just like broadcast spectrum licensees. Must have regulation
Weird that trump would fight harder for his ability to lie without restraint than he did to prevent over 100,000 american deaths and his worshipers dont see that as a problem.
Welcome the third world of America 👍
This will stop twitter from unfairly suspending accounts that raise voice for Kashmir and Against Hindutva Nazi regime etc. Great news.!
By the Time this gets thru the Courts He WILL be OUT of Office
He acts like a damsel in distress
Lying Trump should be Fact Checked!
