| Trump continues his plan to organize social platforms |
After formally requesting the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to draft regulations for Facebook, Twitter and other technology platforms, the FCC took an important step forward in implementing the Presidential Decree against social platforms.
After President (Donald Trump) asked him to intervene, the US Department of Commerce authority asked the Federal Communications Commission to reinterpret the 1996 law, which requires transparency in managing content on social platforms. .
Trump asked the National Communications and Information Administration (NTIA) to file a petition after adding a warning to the president's tweets about email fraud on the Twitter platform in May.
Trump's executive regulations stipulate that the National Communications and Information Administration asks the Federal Communications Commission to draft the provisions of Section 230, which is the requirement for marking in law. This policy prevents social platforms from accepting responsibility for user-posted content and allows them to remove inappropriate legal posts.
The National Communications and Information Administration said in a petition: It hopes that the Federal Communications Commission requests social platforms to publicly disclose accurate information about content management mechanisms. Allow users to make more informed decisions about competitive alternatives.
Trump, the Republican who ran for re-election on November 3, has repeatedly expressed his anger at social programs.
Trump said the popular topics on Twitter are unfair and wrote, "They're looking for anything they can find to make it as bad as possible and post it to make it popular."
The FCC's Commissioner for Democracy said: The committee should quickly dismiss this appeal. While social platforms can be frustrating, turning this institution into a way to defend the president’s message is not the answer.
"The agency will review the appeal carefully," said Brian Hart, spokesman for the Federal Communications Commission (Brian Hart).
The FCC chairman, Ajitbay, has made it clear in the past that he does not see the FCC's role in regulating websites like Twitter, Google, or Facebook.
Twitter has described Trump's executive order as a reactionary and politicized approach to historic law, and it may take a year or more for the FCC to complete the rules.
Andrew Jay Schwartzman (Andrew Jay Schwarzman), professor at Georgetown University (Georgetown University), said: The FCC does not have the right to interpret Section 230. However, the rules Trump wants are completely in line with simple and clear legal language. Misfit.
