Sen. Ron Wyden called President Trump's executive order targeting social media platforms a "plainly illegal" attempt to push "unfiltered lies."
.
.
.
"I have warned for years that this administration was threatening 230 in order to chill speech and bully companies like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter into giving him favorable treatment. Today Trump proved me right. I expect those companies and every American who participates in online speech to resist this illegal act by all possible means," Wyden said in a statement.

Since the order hasn’t been released, isn’t this a bit premature?

How can in be “illegal”? All it did was direct a review of the laws governing social media. Pretty sure it's in any President's prerogative to direct federal agencies to review any law or regulation he wants (remember a review does not but produce a report on if the laws are functioning as intended).

For those who don’t know, Portland, OR is one of the locations the Democrats use to monitor/attack Social Media postings.
Ever wonder where the Trolls on Breitbart come from?
50% chance Portland, OR.

So Senator Wyden (Leftist-OR) is offended.
Whatever shall we do now (i.e., so what?)

Ron Wyden should be embalming people in a mortuary, not sitting in the US senate. Democrats are so F’d up they’d elect Satan himself. I’m not even sure that they already haven’t.

Democrats and tech will fight this to their last breath.
They will die on this hill if needed.
It’s more important to their future than USSC judges.
And the same can be said of the Deep State.
It will be the culmination of the political war of the last 40 years.
Mark this time in history.

Wyden is into "attack mode" even before anything has been finalized.

The American Left’s strategy to use the social media platform to promote their message unopposed, is game over. May they rot in hell for what they were attempting to do.
