BREAKING: President Trump signs order to fight online censorship

Moments ago in the Oval Office, President Trump signed an Executive Order to fight online censorship by technology corporations, including social media platforms.

Tech bias is a major issue facing our democracy. It challenges the free exchange of ideas and public debate that protects our civil liberties. Every citizen—liberal, conservative, or otherwise—has a right to be heard and treated fairly online.

In the next few hours, you may hear a lot about this Executive Order. Leftwing media will claim it addresses a fake problem because tech bias doesn’t exist. Democrats in Congress will say the President is exceeding his authority. Some in the Beltway establishment will say the order doesn’t do that much in the first place.

All of these are lies. Here are a few of the key actions in President Trump’s order:
Makes it U.S. policy that platforms who selectively edit, censor, or are not acting in “good faith” with regards to content will not receive the liability protection included in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act

Directs the Commerce Department to petition the FCC to make clarifying rules on Section 230 in line with U.S. policy

Helps stop millions of taxpayer dollars from being wasted by federal agencies on advertising with biased social media platforms

Ensures the Justice Department will review more than 16,000 complaints about politically motivated censorship that were collected by the White House in advance of a Social Media Summit held last year

Mobilizes State Attorneys General—who have massive subpoena and consumer protection authorities—to ensure social media platforms are not engaging in unfair or deceptive acts or practices

Acts as federal law and lists the many ways in which tech platforms act with bias against viewpoints they disagree with

Massive corporations that treat millions of American citizens unfairly shouldn’t expect special privileges and protections under the law. With President Trump’s Executive Order today, our country is one step closer to having an honest, fair public debate.

If he shuts them down where is he going to post????

A windbag president!!!

This executive order is 'whining'. He got caught spewing his faux news vitriolic spoor and decided to throw a tantrum. Fact is this executive order is a paper tiger. It has absolutely no legislative backing making it almost as ineffective as the President that created it.

All Politicians talk shite! No matter what party, Country, wherever, in the World. I wouldn't believe a word they say, none of them!

Most of them are opportunistic turncoats. Taking backhanders. Like the Greens in the 26 Counties. Coalition talks with the Blueshirts and Mehole Martin. That's like wee Greta Thunberg marrying Trump.

Well, politicians mostly suit themselves, and their bank account.

That's all they're in it for? Themselves and what suits them and their interests. That's Worldwide, not just in the States, the UK and Europe!

Does this mean Mingle can not pull any of our posts down anymore? Sorry, just thought I'd throw that in there

100% mate. Best wishes to Trump from the UK.
