I love the spirit within Trump, but I just realized - the Presidential EO has replaced congress. But I also realize, it’s congresses fault for not dealing with problems the way they should. Now the law goes EO- Courts - Law. Instead of Congress - Courts - Law.

That is the issue. The tech companies are NOT in compliance with the law. They can either “curate content” and be legally responsible for the content...and be considered an editor. Very minor exceptions for actual threats or slander, but not carte blanche. Or they can be a conduit for a forum and be considered like a publisher where the content is the responsibility of the author.

If they are sued for editing content, they would be open to revealing WHY they edited content, to include malice and negligence. IIRC the law is already there...but they give tons literally) of money to the politicians, so they claim the exemption without a whimper from the politicians.
