And yet STILL, Trump has not made a move on declaring social media publishers and removing their legal protections.
That's all it takes. Do it, and this all stops. They will have no choice. They know they can't survive without those protections, yet they are acting as publishers. This isn't controversial, it's obvious. Who decides information is harmful and/or false? The editor! The publisher!
Yes he has. In the last couple of months, he issued an executive order telling the DOJ to draft new rules governing section 230 liability. He also instructed agencies like the FTC to look at this issue.
Instructing people to "look into it" isn't action.
It's the sternly worded letter of policy making.
Just fucking do what needs to be done.
What exactly is "doing what needs to be done"? The President can't literally order social media to do what he wants. We've already seen that the courts are eager to immediately block any executive action by Trump, so it's important to make sure the action is done legally. This means agencies need to draft new rules in compliance with the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), otherwise they will be overturned.
That said, Trump should have started this process years ago, because I'm afraid it's too late to really make much of a difference at this point, especially relating to the 2020 election.
Because I don't think he actually has that power.
It's like "domestic terror organization". It's not really a real thing.
