In May, Twitter implemented fact-check labels about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-next-tech.com\/security\/trump-administration-announces-major-midband-spectrum-auction-for-5g\/\">mail-in ballots to 2 of Trump&#8217;s tweets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Days after, Trump signed an executive order arrangement Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which provides net businesses legal protections that protect them from accountability to user-created content whilst at the same time giving them ability to generate moderation decisions.<\/p>\n<p>The executive order contended that platforms give their rights to legal defense when they medium articles, as Twitter failed as it implemented fact-check tags to Trump&#8217;s tweets.<\/p>\n<p>Even though it isn&#8217;t apparent if Trump&#8217;s executive order is legally enforceable, it might serve to intimidate a few programs. Twitter called the arrangement a&#8221;reactionary and politicized approach into some landmark legislation,&#8221; and its own activities on Trump&#8217;s tweets now may demonstrate that the company doesn&#8217;t view it as a hazard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter flagged one of President Donald Trump\u2019s tweets on Monday, placing it behind a notice that warns users it violates<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":144,"featured_media":26208,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[49],"tags":[2407,2380,2264,2270],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.the-next-tech.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26203"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.the-next-tech.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.the-next-tech.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.the-next-tech.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/users\/144"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.the-next-tech.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26203"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.the-next-tech.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26203\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26214,"href":"https:\/\/www.the-next-tech.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26203\/revisions\/26214"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.the-next-tech.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/media\/26208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.the-next-tech.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.the-next-tech.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.the-next-tech.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
