We are trying to find the line. There is plenty of speech that is not allowed. Organizing a riot on Twitter or Facebook is not permitted. Sending bomb instructions is not. We have agencies that are looking for stuff like that every day. Trump stirs up angry feelings and he backs violent and uncivil actions. He is not presidential or diplomatic. The question is are there any restraints on what he says? In 3.5 years he has helped make a meaner and nastier country.

It is legal to describe how to make a bomb. Indeed, I made 6 of them just last year...all of them legal. Instructions for making all kinds of explosive devices is all over the internet. The agencies don't care. They only care if you actually try to use one to cause an act of terrorism or other crime. I never used any of the bombs I made to commit any kind of crime. Three of them were used as instructional devices for a movie special effect, and the other three were used to entertain. All of them were completely safe, if handled and manufactured properly. Pretty much like any other weapon. Oh, I also own several swords and knives, and several guns...each used for a different purpose...none of them criminal.
Trump does not back violent actions. He is presidential by definition. He is the President of the United States. He does not have to conform to YOUR idea of 'presidential'. It is the Democrats that have made a meaner and nastier country, and that over many decades.

They already regulate what type of speech private companies allow. Nothing about Trumps executive order changes that. It does, however, remove any protections for sites that modify user's content or ban users for political reasons. Such sites can't hide behind $230 anymore. This forum is already in compliance.
