Trump Signs Executive Order on Big Tech Censorship

Look at these demented simps whining about fake rights violations. It's hysterical and a little sad. Free speech doesn't mean entitled speech. You have no rights to a stage or online platform. You don't get to misuse their platform no matter who you are. They are fact-checking things so cry more about an asterisk added to false statements and bs. How can none of you crybabies understand this? Sack up losers, no one wants a cream puff that's full of shit.

Who is censoring Trump? He's the government.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg criticized Twitter on Wednesday after the microblogging platform fact-checked a tweet of President Donald Trump's that claimed mail-in voting increases voter fraud.

Twitter tagged Trump's tweets with the message reading, "Get the facts about mail-in ballots." The message linked to a page contradicting Trump's assertions. Studies have not shown evidence of widespread voter fraud via absentee ballots in the past. Twitter's action marked the first time the platform has ever marked any of Trump's tweets as misleading.

"We have a different policy, I think, than Twitter on this," Zuckerberg told Dana Perino, host of the Fox News show The Daily Briefing, in an interview clip. The full interview is expected to air on Thursday.

"I just believe strongly that Facebook shouldn't be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online. In general, private companies probably shouldn't be, especially these platform companies, shouldn't be in the position of doing that," Zuckerberg added.

Perino said that Zuckerberg told her that Facebook refuses to intervene in censoring public posts unless there's a threat of imminent harm. She added that Facebook is "hands off" when it comes to political speech.

Facebook, under fire for spreading divisive material and misinformation largely shelved an effort to make conversations on the platform more civil, according to the Wall Street Journal. Facebook executives viewed the effort as "paternalistic" and were worried about accusations of censorship from the right, the paper said.

"We've built a robust integrity team, strengthened our policies and practices to limit harmful content and used research to understand our platform's impact on society so we continue to improve. Just this past February we announced $2M in funding to support independent research proposals on polarization," a Facebook spokesperson told The Verge when asked about the report.

Trump is expected to sign an executive order addressing social media companies on Thursday, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on Wednesday evening, though she offered no additional details on what the order might say. However, two of Trump's allies in Congress told Newsweek the order may strip Twitter of the special speech liability immunity it receives because of the fact-checking flap.

"Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen. We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016. We can't let a more sophisticated version of that happen again."

I seem to know more than you. You keep asserting platform violation as if it's a law.

Lol yep you don't understand what a regulation is. The issue is they get legal exemption from liability if they obey they regulations of a platform like a common carrier; such as, a phone company they violated that neutral platform status by editorializing. Nobody said anything about a statutory violation we are discussing a regulatory violation which now puts them under the same liability as a publisher.

It wasn't "editorializing", it was a fact check. And what am I denying? Do you really want politicians to lie or make potentially harmful suggestions and Twitter couldn't do anything to protect their asses?
I wonder how you would feel if they have done the same to AOC or Pelosi.

Don't answer, I know the answer.

No it was editorializing using leftwing outlets as "fact checkers" to push their editorial agenda. CNN as a publisher not a platform could have responded themselves in a tweet or in an article. Twitter itself put up the disclaimer that's not the job of a neutral platform, that is the action of a publisher, they fucked up.

Pretty sure I'm discussing regulatory violations you fucking retard. Twitter has no right as a liability exempt corporate entity to editorialize and maintain their legal status as a platform it is a violation of FCC and FEC regulations.

And your point? Twitter by putting up the disclaimer engaged in editorializing using far left publishers.

Where is the disclaimer? The only place you can see is on the site itself and it says in small blue font, "Get the facts about mail-in ballots".
