Executive Order 13925 on Preventing Online Censorship
President Trump signed Executive Order 13925 on May 28, 2020, directing federal agencies to review the scope of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and to enforce existing laws against what the order characterized as selective online censorship. The order instructed the Department of Justice, Federal Communications Commission, and Federal Trade Commission to examine whether social media platforms' content moderation practices violate consumer protection laws or constitute unfair competition. Confirmed effects include ongoing FCC and FTC reviews of platform practices, though no binding regulations directly restricting platform operations were implemented through this order alone.
