Trump signs executive order which threatens social media companies

[David1967]

All the more reason to be wary of this one.

Yes, because this one may well do such a thing should he acquire the power to do so.

Good for you for seeing it. America is on its way...

Whats next? A night of the long knifes or the night of the broken glass?

Wow Trump really is turning out to be a Fascist.

He has been one all along. But people could not see it. It was hidden by his idiocy..

I hope your right. But executive orders are very powerful. This is basically the president seizing control of the media. I hate to say it, but this is starting to resemble Germany in the early 1930s. How long before reporters that displease him get a late-night knock on their door? I really am concerned.

I don't want to say "I told you so 3 years ago", but I'm not sure how else to respond.

You were not alone. Madeleine Albright published "Fascism: A Warning" in April of 2018.

I am concerned with control over media as well as free expression. President LBJ did it to the churches in 1954. It's a shame that we have been conditioned that it is OK to do that.

I'm looking over the document now.

Somebody pray for me... as revolting Revoltingest may be... I'm starting to like him.

After reviewing different media posts... I can certainly see why (regardless of Trump) people are upset at Facebook and Twitter. The perception is that they are really slanted against freedom of speech for some and pro speech for others.
