Here’s the definition of who’s affected by the EO:
” Sec. 7. Definition. For purposes of this order, the term “online platform” means any website or application that allows users to create and share content or engage in social networking, or any general search engine.”
Don’t see how FR wiggles out of that.
Yep, the president better be careful with this issue...a lot of “non-abusing/non-censoring” sites may be caught up and declared “publishers” and incur liability for libel & slander, etc.. Sites like FR and the new “LBRY” YouTube alternative.
