Whatever order he signed will be designed for show rather than effect.
If he signed an EO on social media at all.
He has no authority to do anything substantial unless he invokes some clause in the Emergency Declaration.
And that’s a far reach.
“unless he invokes some clause in the Emergency Declaration.”
And that’s the way to do it!
Homeland Security under Obama declared the election systems to be critical infrastructure. I’m guessing that Trump will do the same for social media platforms.
They should at least be compelled to give federal agencies full access to their “black box”. Right now nobody knows how many conservatives are being silenced on a daily basis. We also don’t know what action they are taking against Chinese propaganda, etc.
These things can sway the election and we shouldn’t trust them to make the right decisions without oversight and accountability.
Fixing an election is a National Emergency.
