No tweet alert this time. Word came from the president’s spokeswoman herself directly to reporters traveling on Air Force One with President Trump: The president plans to sign an executive order on social media in the morning.
This comes a day after the president’s tweets decrying mail-in ballots as fertile for fraud had a fact-check label appended.
Earlier on Wednesday, the president had promised « big action » in response, asserting that social media platforms « totally silence conservatives voices, » threatening to « strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen. »
So what could Thursday’s action actually be? Social media are public companies and not typically subject to executive orders.
« Presidents can do anything, » says Karen North, a professor of social media at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School of Communication.
