Several advocacy groups have sued President Donald Trump on Thursday to challenge his executive order from May that called for regulations to protect users from unfair or deceptive content restriction practices employed by social media platforms.
The lawsuit filed in a federal court in California accused the Trump administration of seeking to punish social-media companies for fact-checking the president’s posts. The suit claimed the president’s order is “fundamentally incompatible” with the First Amendment because it “deprives users of their right to receive information curated by online platforms.”
