Trump to sign executive order on social media on Thursday: White House
Reuters Report .......
Some will argue that this is the beginning of silencing free speech - a complete and utterly ironic contradiction to what he is charging ..........
The same steps taken by tyranical governments, dictators, fascists and communist. Complete control of what you believe, and what you are told.

Same steps taken by "democracies" you forgot that part... as almost every western democracy is attempting to curb speech.

The article states that they have no knowledge of what the EO may contain.
EZM, take a chill pill.

I seriously can't believe anyone, on either side of politics, or in the love him or hate him camp wouldn't see that as offside.
No government should ever limit free speech. The constitution protects that, and this could be a problem (depending on the nature and possible over reach) of this executive order.
Let's see what happens - this is perfect timing to do this now as there are some pretty big distractions going on in the news in the USA.

While I do agree with you it does depend what he targets, what if those social media sites are restricting free speech?

Imagine a world without Facebook or Twitter or whatever else online ridiculousness where you twit a tweet every time an idiotic thought crosses your mind and the mindless drones stare at their screens in anticipation of something intelligent ,only to be disappointed over and over and over and day over and over and ov.......

I think you need to consider what Trump is saying.
You have giant media companies with very clear and proclaimed biases by their management and ownership deliberately censoring or promoting political ideas during an election year.
I do think this is a free speech issue, in favour of.
Much of what the msm and social media does in both Canada and the United States can no longer be said to be non-partisan and even more importantly could be interpreted to be active campaigning for a politician or party.
There are very specific rules about third party advertising, lobbying, transparency and campaign financing, which the media gets to skirt around.
I’m completely in favour of Trump protecting ALL speech (except hate) on giant platforms like facebook and twitter.

The problem with social media companies is that they try to act like publishers but are in fact platforms.
Platforms = operate as impartial, open channels of communication
Publishers = Exact opposite of Platforms
And the big issue with Twitter, google(youtube), and facebook is that they tote themselves to be platforms, but act as publishers when to come to political opposition.
