President Trump signed an Executive Order today attempting to curtail legal protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act ("Section 230" or the "CDA"). The Executive Order strives to clarify that Section 230 immunity "should not extend beyond its text and purpose to provide protection for those who purport to provide users a forum for free and open speech, but in reality use their power over a vital means of communication to engage in deceptive or pretextual actions stifling free and open debate by censoring certain viewpoints."
