President Trump is set to sign an executive order “pertaining to social media” on Thursday, which includes a review of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which exempts online platforms from liability for users’ posts, Reuters reports.
A draft of the order says the White House Office of Digital Strategy will re-establish a tool for reporting online censorship, the White House Tech Bias Reporting Tool.
The announcement follows a multiday feud between the president and Twitter.
The social media giant applied for the first time an informational label to one of the president’s tweets on Tuesday.
On the flight back from Florida, WH press secretary told reporters on Air Force One Trump plans to sign an executive order aimed at social media companies. WH says the exec order will be signed Thursday.
