"In practice, this executive order would mean that whichever political party is in power could dictate what speech is allowed on the Internet."
Civil liberties groups are warning of a major threat to online freedoms and First Amendment rights if a leaked draft of a Trump administration edict—dubbed by critics as a that would give powerful federal agencies far-reaching powers to pick and choose which kind of Internet material is and is not acceptable—is allowed to go into effect.
According to CNN, which obtained a copy of the draft, the new rule "calls for the FCC to develop new regulations clarifying how and when the law protects social media websites when they decide to remove or suppress content on their platforms. Although still in its early stages and subject to change, the Trump administration's draft order also calls for the Federal Trade Commission to take those new policies into account when it investigates or files lawsuits against misbehaving companies."

Has Trump been getting pointers from North Korea's leaders? The author correctly points out that both parties can use this scheme to their advantage.
Yes!! Trump's unbridled adoration and praise of murderous dictators clearly shows how this piece of waste would love to transform the governement and the USA into an unrecognizable authoritarian state. We must keep The GOP and their base as far away from power as possible and rid the nation of their influence in government forever.
