Litigation takes years.

Right, but it's the big stick.
Even FCC Rules following the President's EO today are not going to be completed this year.
The other track is legislation. We won't get anything worthwhile unless we first take back the House.
The only immediate TEETH in the Executive Order would be stopping what he says are $billions spent by the Federal Government on these outlaw platforms.
I cannot predict how much or in what way the platforms will change their behavior this year. Do they start to behave; OR, DO THEY DOUBLE DOWN ON DEFEATING THE PRESIDENT (as China has done)????
Maybe some of our FReeQish lawyers can opine as to whether their is a possibility of injunction against their bad acting during the pendency of a judgement and before the election, assuming Barr does begin to litigate on antitrust or other grounds.
