Trump Get Fact Checked By Twitter, Immediately Drafts New Social Media Executive Order

Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday seeking to crackdown on social media.

The order is to make companies think over allegations of bias against conservatives.

The move comes two days after Twitter fact-checked two of Trump's tweets pushing false claims. Trump's executive order seeks to empower federal regulators to amend a statute, says Business Insider.

The statute gives social media companies broad authority to moderate speech on their platforms. According to a leaked draft, the order holds regulations for how companies are allowed to moderate speech.

It also calls for the FTC to keep a list of complaints from users about political bias on platforms.
