They leaked the draft of the XO. It's a cluster. Looks like government examination of speech content is free speech now and private questioning of government is suppression. He completely misstates and misuses FCC and FEC rules and demands the exact opposite of 1A.
That could be a good thing.I don't mind him, or any politician, being on Twitter. The problem is the content of his tweets.
He does a good bit of retweeting other tweets which he wouldn't be able to do on a Whitehouse website (well, technically he could but it wouldn't be as easy or seamless).
Here's the tweet in question:
Regardless of whether or not what Trump tweeted was factual, twitter is a private company and can set their own rules for posts made using their platform. This has nothing to do with the right to free speech no matter how many times Trump says it does.
Also, the executive order is stupid.
There is only one set of facts. The problem is in how they are perceived and interpreted. Partial facts can be equally bad as well. Leave out a word or two and something said can have an entirely different meaning.The question is what are the facts. Two people can be presented with the exact same information and they could interpret the facts differently. It's simply not possible to police the volume of content on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and thousands of other websites. We certainly don't want the govt managing this.
