President Trump will sign an executive order on social media companies, White House officials said after Trump threatened to shut down websites he accused of stifling conservative voices
The officials gave no further details. It was unclear how Trump could follow through on the threat of shutting down privately owned companies including Twitter Inc.
In an interview with Fox News Channel on Wednesday, Facebook’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, said censoring a platform would not be the “right reflex” for a government worried about censorship. Fox played a clip of the interview and said it would be aired in full on Thursday.The American Civil Liberties Union said the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution limits any action Trump could take.“Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices.
Last year the White House circulated drafts of a proposed executive order about anti-conservative bias which never gained traction. Separately, Twitter said Trump’s tweets were labeled as part of efforts to enforce the company’s “civic integrity policy.” U.S. President Donald Trump speaks about negotiations with pharmaceutical companies over the cost of insulin for U.S. seniors on Medicare at an event in the Rose Garden at the White House during the coronavirus disease outbreak in Washington, U.S. May 26, 2020.
