Я добавлю, что этот указ появился через 24 часа после конфликта с твиттером.
On May 26th at 5:17 AM President Donald J. Trump published a series of tweets raising questions regarding California's vote-by-mail practices. In other words, it was a standard early morning in Washington, DC. The events that came next, however, were anything other than usual. The President's tweets led to Twitter making an extraordinary editorial decision: by the end of the day, the social media platform affixed a notation to the President's tweets alerting readers to "Get the facts about mail-in ballots," along with a link to various resources as part of effort to enforce the platform's "civic integrity policy … [and] provide additional context and conversation with regard to voter fraud and mail-in-ballots." A political firestorm raged, and roughly 24 hours later on May 28th, the White House issued an executive order that invites fundamental changes to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act—a narrow but important law that affords liability protection for a range of stakeholders in the online ecosystem.

Мне понравился следующий кусок: )) Из него вполне очевидно, что указ - это просто месть за комментарии твиттера в отношении постов президента.
Twitter now selectively decides to place a warning label on certain tweets in a manner that clearly reflects political bias. As has been reported, Twitter seems never to have placed such a label on another politician’s tweet. As recently as last week, Representative Adam Schiff was continuing to mislead his followers by peddling the long-disproved Russian Collusion Hoax, and Twitter did not flag those tweets. Unsurprisingly, its officer in charge of so-called ‘Site Integrity’ has flaunted his political bias in his own tweets.
