I honestly don’t see what an executive order can accomplish in this venue.

I don’t see how it can be constitutional.

my bet is that he will take existing law and define the difference between publishers and platform so if a social network platform tells its users what it can or can not say it will be treated as a publisher by fedral bureaucracy. if a social network does not control content then it keeps all the protections given by government. a lot can be done with the enforcement of existing law. the problem is that for the last 20 years theses laws have not had overt enforcement.

He can do them a LOT of damage. First, he turned the lights on. Cockroaches HATE that.
Second, he can sign an executive order forbidding any executive branch agency from having a Facebook account, a Twitter account etc. He can stop all executive branch offices from spending any money on information services with a company that censors based on politics.

He can declare their activities on behalf of China to be a national emergency and raise holy hell. Truman did this to steel mills in the 50s.

Maybe require the FCC to come down hard on them.

If it can be proven that twatter is showing extreme bias going into an election, perhaps the FEC can get involved.

Guess it is a good thing you aren't signing it then.
