Like a room full of monkeys operating typewriters, enough time has passed that something good has come off of the desk of Donald J. Trump, who holds the title of President of the United States (holds the title, not is...big difference, if he WAS president, he would ACT ACCORDINGLY - mature anyone?).

The link below is to an executive order which represents the first decent thing Trump has done during his tenure:

This executive order is not a law, as the president cannot make law, he is an executive officer, which means he EXECUTES the law, as in he DOES WHAT CONGRESS TELLS HIM TO DO.

But the law is not being applied fairly or accurately. 47 USC 203 C 1 states that online content providers (social media platforms) are free from liability for the content they provide IF they remove such content that is deemed offensive or otherwise illegal.

What Trump has done is to instruct the US Department of Justice, a part of the EXECUTIVE branch of the government, to clarify the law in terms of its application. What he has specifically done is to instruct the DOJ to investigate whether or not the law is being applied correctly, or used as a means to cover up censorship. He has done so by instructing the DOJ to define, properly, those who censor for political or other purposes as PUBLISHERS as the law stipulates, rather than letting them get away with calling themselves content providers.

The fact that Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms can censor political speech, which I am a victim of, makes them publishers because they control the content you read. If they take down my videos, suppress them in search results, remove my journalistic articles, take down my Facebook page, and any of the other acts of censorship committed against me, they are publishers and they are not protected from liability.

That means that Mr. Trump has opened the door for people like me to sue the fuck out of companies like Google, Facebook, and others, and to win in doing so.


So, Trump finally did something right.

Why?

Because it was the right thing to do?

No. Because it happened to him, finally. Twitter endowed one or two of Trump's tweets as questionable and Trump blew his stack and went after the social media platforms, not because they are doing something wrong to Americans, but because they did something wrong to HIM.

You who believe Trump is anything but a selfish, shallow, stupid prick - you need to be taken out and fucking shot for being a stupid, shallow, selfish prick yourself.
