I read the EO. Quickly, it instructs NTIA to look into online censorship and bias and send the FCC a report recommending changes to enforcement of Sec. 230 and allow suing when platforms overstep the limited range of protections Sec. 230 actually provides. E.g. child porn, not "I love Trump". Then the FCC looks into government funding of those censoring online and maybe stop funding them.
As far as I know, the NTIA and FCC have done nothing towards this EO. An EO can only instruct federal agencies. They can't tell companies what to do, directly that is. Hence the NTIA->FCC->Courts path outlined in the EO.
If this EO was followed, it would have allowed Twatter to be sued by a user they censored. They would likely fight it for as long as possible in court. It's a long process.
Oops, issued in May. That means Big Tech just gave a big middle finger to the execute order and ignored it. They have enough money to pay loads of lawyers and can pay any fines. Shut it down!
This is an old EO. Did Twitter just break the law?
This was posted 7 months ago
This was issued May 28th, 2020. What am I missing?
You're missing the point that they knew this day would come and planned accordingly.
What's the penalty for ignoring EOs?

There’s currently no penalty for treason if you’re a democrat.
OMG, hate to imagine a world after the inauguration.

I don't get it. This is dated last summer
But still in effect. Twitter just defied that EO.
Finally! But will they comply? If so, when?
MAY 28?!?
May 28th 2020....
Twitter just broke the rules of 230 protection and defied the EO. Now they will LOSE 230 protection and can be sued by anyone they censor.
that's nice, but the Trump admin has to actually wield it for it to be effective.
lotta promises so far & no action.
Lots of action happening. You just can't see it.
this is old tho can he tap it?
Of course. Put it in place knowing this day would come.
