After his latest spat with Twitter, President Trump has decided that enough is enough: He wants to sign an executive order rolling back Big Tech’s legal immunity.
The executive order, which Trump has suggested he’ll sign on Thursday, would deal largely with a portion of the law known as Section 230, a provision that protects tech companies from being held liable for the content posted on their platforms. Trump’s order would allow federal officials to reconsider Section 230 and its protections, and require the Federal Trade Commission to investigate complaints about political bias on Big Tech platforms.
