'Silly': Pelosi blasts Trump's social media executive order

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called President Trump’s planned executive order to limit the legal protections social media companies currently enjoy under federal law “outrageous” and “silly.”

The order would make it easier for federal regulators to hold tech firms such as Twitter and Facebook legally responsible for restricting users’ speech by suspending their accounts or deleting their posts. The plan for an executive order came just days after Trump tweeted criticism about mail-in voting and a Twitter fact-check label disputing the president’s claim appeared beneath one of his tweets for the first time.
