BREAKING

Just got a draft copy of Trump's Executive Order on Social Media anonymously sent to my inbox.

THREE TWEET SUMMARY:

1/
Section 230 doesn't protect editorial conduct
Twitters labels on tweets regarding falsity = editorial conduct

Therefore, this EO places such platforms outside scope of Sec. 230 protection
2/
This EO prohibits federal spending on advertising or marketing on platforms that violate editorial conduct of Sec. 230

FTC & state AGs will look into deceptive & unfair practices of sites like Twitter and Facebook that act as the "public square" (cites Packingham, Pruneyard)
3/
This is all in the name of the commitment and concern for free and diverse speech online.

"So say we all."

(that last bit was me)
