America, when are you going to give up on this idiot? I’m genuinely curious, what’s the last straw? He takes a dump on the Whitehouse lawn in order to show how powerful he is? My view of America has forever changed, no matter who comes next.

#22For that reason I fully expect the tech experts in question to solve this new policy problem with some technology.

#23I 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?

#24How did a professor of Internet law get a hold of a draft EO? Are these things widely circulated before signing?
If I know anything about Trump, then his team leaked it on purpose to get an initial feedback. If it turns out to have a bad reaction then they would repudiate this copy and release some other watered down version.
My sense is that they use leaks as a way to ferret out who is disloyal, not get feedback from the Press, which they hate.

#25If I am to believe the poster, this is a draft of an Executive Order anonymously sent to her. As per: https://twitter.com/klonick/status/1265850206396076033?s=21 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 ac…
Literally no way this holds up in court. If it does, we have bigger problems than this EO.

i don't think it will be a final straw - i think it could be a confluence of things though
>As anti-government protesters demonstrated in Timișoara in December 1989, he perceived the demonstrations as a political threat and ordered military forces to open fire on 17 December, causing many deaths and injuries. The revelation that Ceaușescu was responsible resulted in a massive spread of rioting and civil unrest across the country.[4] The demonstrations, which reached Bucharest, became known as the Romanian Revolution—the only violent overthrow of a communist government in the turn of the Revolutions of 1989.[

Can anyone give a tl;dr of what the implications actually are? Maybe I'm just tired, but I'm having a hard time parsing what this would actually do (beyond soothe Trump's feelings after getting called out by Twitter).
