Victims of online harassment worried that an executive order President Trump signed Thursday will take away social media companies' power to crack down on 'crisis actor' conspiracy theorists and trolls.
President Donald Trump issued the order after Twitterbeneath two of his tweets about mail-in voting this week. The order claims that online platforms such as Twitter have been labeling or removing content that doesn't violate any stated terms of service and deleting content and accounts"with no warning, no rationale, and no recourse."
Sarah T. Roberts, a UCLA professor who teaches commercial content moderation and social media, said the executive order could make it harder for platforms to enforce rules against conspiracy theorists who push harassment campaigns against loved ones in tragedies. Parker said the pain he endures because of trolls on social media could be aggravated by the executive order.
Parker testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee last year, urging lawmakers to push back on tech giants like YouTube and Facebook, which still host videos of his daughter's murder and trolls dedicated to tarnishing her memory.
