given the white house is actually harassing a twitter employee, i totally could see twitter saying fuck it and doing something more drastic to his account.

I know this won't happen, but if Twitter just deletes his account in response, good lord that would be incredible.

How funny would it be if this causes his supporters to leave Twitter and FB in support of him LOL

Saw on Twitter that it will be signed tomorrow

Which probably means they don't actually have anything planned, and now need to scramble to get some gibberish together.

Jack Dorsey in the complicated position of still not agreeing with everyone that said Trump's presence and use of the platform was dangerous, but still dismissing them as liberal hacks that want to stifle free speech; also, Trump very visibly dangerous now.

but ok, this is how the world works now I guess. I feel like it's not just Trump that feels like a hard slide to the right, which is making this grow even more frustrating by the day.

A mountain in the US
Saw this in the replies (I know it was a mistake to read them):
Twitter, as a platform, is not allowed to become one-sided or partisan. They fact-checked Trump but none of the Russia collusion hoaxers (Schiff). they've turned themselves into a publisher not a platform. They couldn't get sued for bias as a platform, but can now as a publisher.

They're not allowed to be partisan as a platform? "Sued for bias"? Uh huh. This is how these people think. Calling out liars is apparently partisan. Sorry, but it's not just a coincidence that the conservatives are so into lying.

Not that this is going to amount to anything, but if it's anything substantial, how would they even be able to enforce it for people not living in the US?

Depending on what he is trying to do I highly doubt it happens. Even with the Court in his pocket there are plenty of Republican voters who wouldn't be ok with this.
I don't buy this for a second. You gotta remember the main play of of republicans online is that they are always the victim no matter what bullshit they do.

Does he really want to get into war with Twitter, which he needs more than they need him?

Jack is a fascist sympathizer, he fucking loves Trump. Everything that Twitter's done that even slightly inconvenienced Trump has been against his wishes.

What does the order say?
And will he make a big show of it like he does with many of his other executive orders?

The only thing Republican voters care about is Trump winning and hurting people beneath them. Literally nothing else.

No, I know. Acting like this is everyone else's fault but his is always his strategy so I doubt that changes. I just don't know if the republicans who aren't hardcore trump diehards will be alright about taking action against the freeze peach.

I should also preface and say this is my hope. I'm fully prepared to be disappointed in humanity if something actually happens with this.
