Facebook, Twitter And Google Slam Trump Order That Seeks To Prevent Them From Restricting RW Voices
In a first of such moves by a politician, the US president Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order that decrees a number of changes in how major social media platforms – mainly Twitter, Facebook and Youtube police and restrict certain content posted on their platforms.
The official order that was shared by Trump himself on Twitter seeks to hold tech companies responsible for being publishers, and limit their role in censoring content – especially of a political nature that goes against their own political leanings.
