SOCIAL MEDIA CENSORSHIP - GREAT NEWS!!!


Recommended Posts

It didn't look like much happened with yesterday's big tech hearing, but I stumbled upon this - which is HUGE!  Trump always said if Congress doesn't handle the social media companies that he would - and he DID!  He quietly signed an Executive Order on Monday, the contents of which were apparently only released yesterday.  He directed the Dept. of Commerce to clarify that Section 230 does NOT apply to so social media companies and that they CAN BE SUED for altering or editorializing their users' speech.  This is really, really big because Section 230 was what the tech giants hid behind to protect themselves from the consesequences of removing, censoring or shadow banning content from conservatives (or really anyone, but they mostly target conservatives).  Now that they CAN be sued (and no doubt they will), that should stop much of their hijinks.  Whoooopee!!      link

 

Implementation of President Trump’s Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

 

On Monday, the Department of Commerce, as directed by President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship, filed a petition to clarify the scope of Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act. The petition requests that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) clarify that Section 230 does not permit social media companies that alter or editorialize users’ speech to escape civil liability. The petition also requests that the FCC clarify when an online platform curates content in “good faith,” and requests transparency requirements on their moderation practices, similar to requirements imposed on broadband service providers under Title I of the Communications Act.  President Trump will continue to fight back against unfair, un-American, and politically biased censorship of Americans online.
