Topic	Trump signs executive order targeting social media companies.
OniRonin 05/28/20 7:09:43 PM #44:	Yellow posted... I deleted my post criticizing Trump because I might have misunderstood what the bill actually does. My first impression was that it is trying to undermine section 230, but now I'm seeing that he's revising how 230 is applied... I will hold my opinion because I don't understand this very well. Who can tag a lawyer? the literal wording of section 2 meants that you lose your section 230 rights if you moderate or alter posts, unless you meet a very vague test for the content counting as objectionable. basically what it would do if implemented is provide the doj with a cudgel to attack social media sites that arent nice to whoever is running the executive branch, since you can't reasonably run a web forum without moderation, the test is very open to interpretation, and it allows the executive branch to dictate the application of the test through the FCC. this would likely cause the large internet companies to flee us jurisdiction. i think it wont amount to much, since trump was so clearly & explicitly operating in bad faith that even modern day judges wont allow it --- god is dumb #NotAllGamers #YesAllLandlods <cite>OniRonin posted [p:939853347] in Trump sign...
