aren't getting and why Fraragal Rock matters in 2020.

But first, Trump versus Twitter, part two.

So on yesterday's show, we discussed President Trump's burgeoning feud with Twitter,

which is really becoming the lover he just can't quit.

The quick backstory here is that Trump tweeted out some misinformation about mail-in balloting.

Twitter added a fact check to those tweets, and Trump argued that the fact-check amounted to censorship and threatened to, quote,

close down Twitter. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey responded late last night, again via Twitter,

by saying that Trump's messages violated the company's existing policies on misinformation

specific to voting in elections, since it could have, in theory, caused some

voters to believe they'll receive mail-in ballots without first registering, which wouldn't

happen. And then, for good measure, Mark Zuckerberg did a fairly unusual cable news parade,

telling this to CNBC. We've been pretty clear on what I think the right approach is, which is

that I don't think

that Facebook or internet platforms in general should be arbiters of truth.

Okay, fast forward to now.

Trump is not moving to, quote, close down Twitter, but he is expected to issue an executive

order related to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which governs social media

platforms. In short, Section 230 is what stops Decency Act, which governs social media platforms.

In short, Section 230 is what stops folks from suing social media platforms for content

posted there.
