#2If I am to believe the poster, this is a draft of an Executive Order anonymously sent to her. As per:

The implications are fairly dramatic if this is legitimate and were to be adopted / executed.
Specifically it would declare that sites like Twitter and Facebook are subject to the Communications Decency Act by virtue of their editorializing the content vs acting in more of a common carrier capacity. This is a really big deal for them (much more significant than losing federal ad dollars).

#5I think you need to vote Donald Trump out of office.
We look from afar and are perplexed by his ruinous actions on the United States of America.
These actions feel vaguely like authoritarianism. Originally I thought these actions felt like fascism, but I appreciate that fascism's victims would laugh at this comparison... but I think it's a slippery slope.
Is Twitter's flagging censorship? People can still make their own decisions.
If a piece of text is just wrong, shouldn't the expression of a differing opinion be allowed? I'd love to hear what lawyers think.
(Thanks for comments, fascism removed).

Literally no way this holds up in court. If it does, we have bigger problems than this EO.

#8Isn’t a company closing to to promote content for someone else their own right to free speech?
If a company has an obligation to promote something against their will, violating their own right to free speech, how could a company like Hobby Lobby get away with an exemption on the same grounds?
I don’t see this getting past federal courts, even with a heavily conservative judiciary. The fallout would be far too great.

#10How did a professor of Internet law get a hold of a draft EO? Are these things widely circulated before signing?
