US executive order to re-define Section 230 of the CDA

[ironpony]

There's a couple of problems with trump's executive order. First, there are 1st Amendment overtones in all of this. The government can't just use the heavy hand of censorship against media outlets without running afoul of it. As much as trump may not like what a private media outlet does, he doesn't get to shut them down, or regulate them by fiat. Yes, electronic social media isn't what the Framer's had in mind, but so much of modern life was unforseen by those in the 18th century that the courts will adapt the Constitution to fit.

The second problem is "Section 230" is part of a law passed by Congress. trump thinks that he can unilaterally change the meaning of laws passed by Congress. He can't. Article 2 which governs the powers of the executive only gives him the power to execute the laws that Congress passes. It doesn't give him the power to rework them to his liking.

This will be going to the courts long before it has any effect on Twitter, FB, or @Mike's Ye Olde Forum.

They won't ban him.

They also posted tags on some Chinese government tweets today, so it appears the new policy just doesn't apply to trump.

At that point he should just shut Twitter down completely. Call it "war powers", I don't care.
Twitter definitely becomes a non essential service the instant they ban the president.

I’m not missing the point. I understand Twitter is taking a political stance. I also understand Trump is a master showman. Trump is responding because Twitter called him on his post. Why? Because they don’t like him. Why is he responding? Because he’s an ego maniac who doesn’t like to be questioned. So really who is at fault?

hell trumps a twitter *****

after they get the ban hammer they will more than likely obtain a new IP addy. but that might not work since they more than likely ban by the mac address. or another is to get a vpn and make another e-mail addy and make a sock puppet profile

So because you don’t like Trump this a constitutional problem but govenors violating multiple amendments over a virus is ok? Got it.

Name me one other political figure who lies with such abandon? 18 000+ verified lies and counting.

Adam Schiff, given the same attention would surely rank right up there.

Trump's a crybaby...

If Twitter really wanted to see a Tantrum and **** him off they'd just Ban his account..

Then Trump could make a "Sock" profile

But look at the revenue/traffic they would lose. Trump has been the best thing yet for Twitter.
