US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at the major social media platforms, denouncing the tech behemoths as “tantamount to a monopoly.” The order may alter Section 230, which protects them from litigation.
the president added that US Attorney General William Barr will also be tasked with working with states to enforce legal restrictions on social media firms.
