Much as he might wish otherwise, Donald Trump is not the president of Twitter.

This order, if issued, would be a blatant and unconstitutional threat to punish social media companies that displease the president. https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1266013357397676032">https://twitter.com/ABC/statu...
The president has no authority to rewrite a congressional statute with an executive order imposing a flawed interpretation of Section 230.

Section 230 incentivizes platforms to host all sorts of content without fear of being held liable. It enables speech, not censorship.
Ironically, Donald Trump is a big beneficiary of Section 230.

If platforms were not immune under the law, then they would not risk the legal liability that could come with hosting Trump& #39;s lies, defamation, and threats.
