In order to fight back, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on the 28th local time, trying to deprive Twitter and other social media giants of the legal immunity of publishing content. If this executive order is implemented, social media such as Twitter and Facebook may face prosecution, and the US government will greatly strengthen its supervision.
