President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order on Thursday aimed at major social media companies after Twitter applied a warning label on one of the presidents Twitter posts.<\/p>\n

Spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said on Air Force One, traveling with Trump to Washington from Florida, that Trump will be signing an executive order \u201cpertaining to social media.\u201d She did not provide more details.<\/p>\n

The White House pool later confirmed the executive order will be signed on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The president posted to Twitter late Wednesday denouncing alleged censorship efforts of \u201cBig Tech\u201d ahead of the Nov. 3 presidential election.<\/p>\n

\u201cBig Tech is doing everything in their very considerable power to CENSOR in advance of the 2020 Election. If that happens, we no longer have our freedom,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will never let it happen! They tried hard in 2016, and lost,\u201d he added. \u201cNow they are going absolutely CRAZY. Stay Tuned!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Two Republican lawmakers, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), announced on Wednesday that they are working on legislation that would remove federal protections for companies like Twitter that release the company from being held liable for what is posted on its platform.<\/p>\n

Publishers can be held liable for any content they post, while social media platforms are protected by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act<\/a>, which states that \u201cno provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will introduce legislation to end these special government giveaways,\u201d Hawley wrote on Twitter. \u201cIf [Twitter] wants to editorialize & comment on users posts, it should be divested of its special status under federal law (Section 230) & forced to play by same rules as all other publishers. Fair is fair.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n.@jack<\/a> a few questions for you below. Bottom line: Why should @twitter<\/a> continue to get special treatment from government as a mere distributor of other peoples content if you are going to editorialize and comment like a publisher?

Hawley also shared a letter he sent to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey demanding a response by June 15 to provide \u201cthe sources on which Twitter relied to decide to editorialize regarding the Presidents political speech.\u201d The senator also asked Dorsey to \u201cexplain why you think thRead More From Source<\/a>
