The US President Donald trump has signed a decree that seeks to eliminate bias of social networks and their alleged ideological bias, “protecting freedom of speech from one of the biggest threats.” The goal is to turn social networks are not curators of the published articles, and a neutral platform. “B” understood what the American President wants to see the social network.”They have nobody controlled the power to censor, restrict, change, hide almost any form of communication between private citizens and large public audiences. It can not afford”, announced Donald trump the signing of the document. In it, regulators are asked to evaluate the practical application of the 1996 law, which protects social networks from lawsuits in which the subject of become posted by users.”My decree calls for the adoption of the new rules, according to which the social networks are censored or engage in any political activity, will not be able to preserve protection from claims”,— said the head of state.”These platforms behave as if they are not to blame, though in fact they are our experiences: that is, they are the kind of people behind the scenes who decides what we see and hear,”— explained in a conversation with Politico senior Washington official meaning of the bill. The document, seen by the us media, says that legal protection is based on the assumption that social networks are acting in good faith, but de facto it is not.The President wrote that voting by mail will cause “a significant level of deceit.” Under his message, the social network posted a note “Find out the facts about directed by mail ballots”, clicking on which users could read that the President’s allegations “unfounded according to CNN, Washington Post and others.” After a demarche from the social network’s stated desire to “preserve the impartiality of the civilian”, Donald trump burst out into another tirade (again on Twitter). “Large technology company doing everything in their great power to IMPOSE CENSORSHIP before the election of 2020! If that happens, we will have no more freedom. I’m not letting you do it! They tried to pull that off in 2016 and lose. But now they have finally GONE mad. Wait!” — wrote the head of state, vowing “tough to resolve or close” the social network, but not to allow such arbitrariness.Apparently, the “wait” it was proposed decree. About it reported in last year’s edition of the Politico and CNN: stated that he developed to defend the position of the conservatives, who are often blamed social media for ideological bias. Then, the document apparently was shelved.��however, the plans for its adoption intensified in mid-may of this year: while the White house has placed a special form, with which the Americans might complain about the lock in social networks “poorly defined “violation” of their policies”. After receiving “thousands of responses” to accept new applications ceased. “Twitter is meddling in the election of 2020. They keep a finger on one of the scales. The fact that they trust the fact-checking people who are not right in everything insulting,” supported the President member of the house of representatives of the state of Florida, Matt Goetz. “It’s like a stream of consciousness in the tweet messages that some poor assistant had to turn to the decree,”— said Daphne Keller, an employee of the center ciberpolitica Stanford University and a former lawyer of Google. Devoid of fate’s decree, most likely, will not: the morning of may 27 the court of appeals of the district of Columbia ruled on an important case in 2018 in which the right conservative group Freedom Watch accused Google, Apple, Twitter and Facebook in ideological bias, because they delete messages and one of the applicants for anti-Islamic in nature.The unanimous decision of a bench of three judges was unequivocal: social network, private companies, and therefore can regulate content on their sites as they want, including delete messages and block users. The appeal to freedom of speech, the court found it inapplicable because the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits the restriction of freedom of speech government, but not private individuals and companies. “Freedom Watch indicates that Platforms provide an important platform for communication, and thus performing a public function. However, the private company becomes public by providing a platform for communication”,— stated in the decision. Donald trump to litigation, apparently, ready. “I believe in his court challenge, but that is now not disputed? I think we’ll make it”, confident and even somewhat defiantly he said.Alexey Naumov
