Trump is threatening to close down social media companies. Can he actually do that? Even if Trump’s executive order tries to shut down social media companies, it would face an immediate court battle.

這些公司適用免遭法律訴訟的保護，只要他們移除或限制不當的貼文、影片、和其他社群媒體上文章的行為是「出於善意」，但是法律並未就惡意做出定義。
這項行政命令將要求美國聯邦傳播委員會(Federal Communications Commission)就相關規範做出澄清，使得用戶未來可能可以就貼文被拿下而控告這些公司。
