Im for golf its good to have you with us u. S. President donald trump has signed an executive order that could make social Media Companies legally liable for what users say on their platforms at the moment platforms such as things book and twitter cannot be held accountable for user generated content. Trump signed the order after twitter fact checked his tweets about mail in voting earlier this week trump accuses twitter of trying to stifle free speech and to influence the outcome of this years president ial election twitter says the tweets had violated its rules on what it calls the keys social issue of voting. All right for more now im joined by even porter hes a sister professor at the school of media and Public Affairs at George Washington university in washington d. C. And its good to have you on the show so talk to us talk us through exactly what does this executive order do. Its good to be here the executive order has 2 things naturally it. Removes protections that social companies social Media Companies have enjoyed which protected them from legal liability about the post of their users so before this executive order was signed in theory a user could post anything he or she wanted on social media and the company itself would not be responsible if the material were libel or defamatory in any way under the executive order thats no longer the case now of course the executive order isnt going to be you know is going to hold up in a court exactly as it stands its already clear that will be subjected to many aggressive legal challenges but theres a broader point here this executive order is about an aggressive retaliatory move that the Trump Administration is making in response to trump in fact check on twitter its an attack on Big Tech Companies that the faith picture matters here more than the smaller details of the executive order but theyre likely to be rolled back and let me just ask you about what this executive order that the power that it has or does it have i understand you know the law that basically protects social media platforms from the post that you were on would you would post that comes from the 1996 Communications Decency act a law that was passed by congress so the us president he doesnt have the authority to change the law only congress has that authority correct correct thats right this is a clear usurpation of congress is our enough already for that reason it will be challenged by Many Organizations and entities across the political spectrum already today in washington were seeing groups from the left right and center voicing their objection to it. And the tweets in question that started this earlier this week that were flagged by twitter the u. S. President was claiming that mail in vote with ensure a rigged election in november but thats not true correct that is that is false right. There are some claims that are ambiguous perhaps. However as far as trump claims go theres no question trump was issuing a false a trump was advancing a falsehood and he was fact checked many public leaders are a fact check constantly by aggressive Fact Checking organizations he didnt respond well to this fact check however and one of belts social Media Companies should they be responsible for you know untruths being distributed on their platforms particularly in political campaigns. Its very clear that when fat checks are applied people respond across the political spectrum by becoming more accurate right so that therefore creates a disincentive for politicians to spread lies and misinformation ok social Media Companies can in should issue fact checks in order to convince people of the truth to let people know whats what and to separate that fictions unfortunately were out of time isnt border we appreciate your insights tonight thank you and there will be more about president trumps executive order thats coming up later in the business when we go to the u.

A strong and canada was swift to condemn the move we are deeply troubled about this step and we put out a joint statement and the decision now lies with china but if it follows through on this legislation and implements it it would clearly violate the autonomy of the people of hong kong they have also been calls in germany to reprimand china over the incident obvious that we just cannot sit down and watch International Law being broken by the Chinese Government and its obvious that the implementation of the National Security legislation would exactly bring this so its obvious that the European Countries have to come together as soon as possible to talk about consequences.
