Following Twitter’s fact-check fiasco of President Donald Trump’s mail-in voting tweets, the President finally took action on Thursday and signed an Executive Order that seeks to change Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act that protects companies from being held legally liable for content posted on their sites by users.

Section 230 is used by tech giants because of the legal umbrella it provides. The Executive Order signed by Trump pushes the Federal Communications Commission to reexamine the extent to which Section 230 shields social media companies like Twitter from legal liability. The order also seeks to examine complaints about political bias to the Federal Trade Commission. The White House has also ordered that agency to investigate whether tech companies and social media sites follow their pledges of neutrality when it comes to moderating content posted on their sites.

“They’ve had unchecked power to censor, restrict, edit, shape, hide, alter virtually any form of communication between private citizens or large public audiences,” Trump declared. He also added that there has been nothing like this in American history where a small number of corporations are able to control such a “large sphere of human interaction.” “We can’t allow that to happen … because they’re doing things incorrectly,” Trump said.

The President added, saying, “The choices that Twitter makes, what it chooses to suppress, edit, blacklist, shadow, ban are editorial decisions, pure and simple.” He believes that once Twitter censors content like that, they employ editorial decisions, which makes them become an “editor with a viewpoint” rather than a neutral public platform. He gave Twitter’s fact-checking move as an example of how these tech giants are trying to impose their own views on its users. The fact-check button is a way of silencing views and opinions that these companies disagree with and then feed its users with content and truth that they personally believe in.

“My executive order calls for new regulations under section 230 of the communications decency act to make it that social media companies that engage in censoring, or any political conduct will not be able to keep their liability shield,” Trump continued. He also added that he is instructing the Federal Trade Commission to prohibit social media companies from getting involved in “any deceptive acts or practices affecting commerce.”

After his announcement, the President tweeted, saying, “This will be a Big Day for Social Media and FAIRNESS!”
