President Donald Trump will target Facebook and Twitter in an executive order on social media, according to a draft that appears to have leaked online. Kate Klonick, an assistant legal professor at St. John's University's School of Law, published what she said was a draft version of the executive order late on Wednesday. (You can read it here.) The Techdirt reporter Mike Masnick said he had received the same draft, and Reuters confirmed that it had seen a genuine draft.

Right! If the tech ninnies' don't alter a post, they can say it isn't their statement. Once they alter a post, in any way, it becomes theirs because it now has material not provided by the original poster. They own it. It becomes an altered post, with new or additional meaning, or context.
Rip 'em President Trump! No more censorship or interference in the 2020 election!

The tech platforms have been trying to turn our elections into mayhem. This just might be the thing that tosses them into the blender for awhile.

How does the man continue to take the backstabbing? Do you think by now God has given him the gift of discerning spirits? Does he see the little red eyes deep in the souls of the democrats and the smiling "mitts?"

Funny how they didn’t explain that, #5.
I truly wish that President Trump would tell the the FCC louts, “Do as I say or you’re fired.” It’s just that simple. After that, announce that Alex Jones is being considered for the top job at the FCC. Should have a few people requesting a diaper change.

Hmmm... Was it leaked deliberately? Or were there several renditions with specific information that's traceable to the possible leakers? Considering this problem has been ongoing for months, that the social media idiots were portraying themselves as guardians of 'Truth', I m' sure there has been lots of time to consider multiple possible responses.
Maybe we're going to find out who is leaking stuff out of the West Wing?

Consider the possibility that this may have been a strategic leak.

An executive order cannot repeal an act of Congress. The article states, "Specifically, the order would ask the Federal Communications Commission to examine those regulations under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and to look at whether platforms' actions to remove or alter users' content should mean they forgo these protections." An "order" that does not order anything could be sufficiently communicated by letter. A repeal of Section 230 would not only affect Twitter and Facebook, it would also affect thousands of bloggers who are protected from libel suits for things posted at their sites.

If the secret police want to make themselves useful they can track down and quietly terminate these incessant leakers. With today's technology it should be a fairly straightforward process to design leak traps
