How long until every video of Trump saying something racist/rhetorical he claims is deepfake?
I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. It's the next step of his "fake news" nonsense.

Hey wait, I thought when net neutrality died, companies were free to choke off access to any sites and platforms like Wayne Brady wanting to choke a bitch. I know we’re talking about 2 different things here, but I don’t see how we can let access providers deny content, but then restrict content providers (I.e. social media) when they want to manage their own content? Am I way off base here?
“They have a role, if not a responsibility, to monitor the content on their sites to ensure that people aren’t threatened with violence or worse, and at the same time to provide a platform that protects and cherishes freedom and free speech, but at the same time does not allow it to descend into a platform for hate,” the first White House official said when asked about the draft executive order.
From the article-
Applying that standard would ban Trump from Twitter. I think it's a great idea.

-What does that 1980's MBA speak even mean:
-They get to monitor content on their own site - K yeah...
-Ensure people aren't threatened- K yeah...
-Not be a platform for hate- K yeah...
This sounds like one of those insane projection things where Pubs/Cons/Trumpets think they're the victims when they're actually the perps and it ends up back firing spectacularly as the EO codifys the platforms right to kick fringe nutters off the site like they are currently doing...
Shhh. The pot doesnt like to be reminded its black.
A draft executive order from the White House could put the Federal Communications Commission in charge of shaping how Facebook (FB), Twitter (TWTR) and other large tech companies curate what appears on their websites, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
The draft order, a summary of which was obtained by CNN, calls for the FCC to develop new regulations clarifying how and when the law protects social media websites when they decide to remove or suppress content on their platforms. Although still in its early stages and subject to change, the Trump administration's draft order also calls for the Federal Trade Commission to take those new policies into account when it investigates or files lawsuits against misbehaving companies.
The FTC will also be asked to open a public complaint docket, according to the summary, and to work with the FCC to develop a report investigating how tech companies curate their platforms and whether they do so in neutral ways. Companies whose monthly user base accounts for one-eighth of the U.S. population or more could find themselves facing scrutiny, the summary said, including but not limited to Facebook, Google, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and Snapchat.
The Trump administration's proposal seeks to significantly narrow the protections afforded to companies under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Under the current law, internet companies are not liable for most of the content that their users or other third parties post on their platforms. Tech platforms also qualify for broad legal immunity when they take down objectionable content, at least when they are acting "in good faith." From the start, the legislation has been interpreted to give tech companies the benefit of the doubt.
