Re: Trump gets fact checked

Twitter is treading a dangerous line here. If they’re going to start actively moderating the platform they have to do it fairly and evenly. Even as a private company they’re subject to the laws that determine whether they’re merely a forum for other people’s opinions, or the actual publisher of those opinions (which exposes them to defamation claims). Whether or not Trump has the power to alter the law by Order to catch Twitter out is somewhat besides the point. If the debate is allowed to get going and keep going, sooner or later there will be the votes in Congress to do it.
