Trump’s executive order, which he signed last May, directed a section of the Commerce Department to petition the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to “clarify” Section 230. Trump signed the order after Twitter fact-checked several of his tweets.

The former president became fixated on the law, which shields all websites from being liable for what users post on them, as his presidency ended.
Despite this, the former president pushed ahead with the controversial order. Trump also revoked the nomination of Michael O’Rielly, a Republican FCC commissioner who raised concerns about the authority the agency had to actually carry out the order. Trump replaced O’Rielly with a candidate, Nathan Simington, who had connections with crafting the executive order. Simington was later confirmed by the Senate despite vocal outcry.
