From looking at the possible changes, it looks like it might actually backfire on Trump.

If they remove legal protections, sites like Twitter will probably be even more aggressive in monitoring posts (to prevent any lawsuits saying "twitter allowed a post that harmed me"). That means many of Trump's tweets might get rejected.

Anything from trump about hydroxychloroqine, conspiracy theories about murder, accusations that the media being "fake news"... Twitter might need to outright ban them all.

Aside from the ignorant spelling, it is also very clueless to make a reference to not letting people breathe, considering the turmoil that's going on in Minneapolis right now after a cop murdered a non-resistant man by kneeling on his neck.

Big Tech is doing everything in their very considerable power to CENSOR in advance of the 2020 Election. If that happens, we no longer have our freedom. I will never let it happen! They tried hard in 2016, and lost. Now they are going absolutely CRAZY. Stay Tuned!!!

Apparently pointing out that something is not factually correct is “CENSORSHIP” when it comes to President Trump.

How did we electe such a snowflake?

You could, just as I could make a point that the post in question was misleading, either intentionally or (more likely) not. Most posts that mention a person's full name refer to actual persons unless context makes clear otherwise and thus the presumption here was not unreasonable.

Not a big deal, we all write sloppily on occasion and we all read sloppily on occasion too.

CNN is reporting:
President Donald Trump is set to announce an executive order against social media companies on Thursday, days after Twitter called two of his tweets "potentially misleading." The draft executive order being prepared by the Trump administration seeks to curtail the power of large social media platforms including Twitter and Facebook by attempting to reinterpret a critical 1996 law that shields websites and tech companies from lawsuits.

The thinking is trump is rushing into this because it feeds his narrative that Big Media hates him and his voice is the only voice his supporters can trust. The ironic thing is, some media analysts think Twitter took the action it did primarily because of complaints over trump using Twitter to accuse Joe Scarborough of having committed a murder. That was horrendous but Twitter apparently felt it was not actionable. That instead they 'compromised' by dinging his mail-in ballot tweets.

Look how far we've come in three years: The president gets into a fight with Twitter. The fight seems to have started largely by the president using Twitter to recklessly accuse a news media personality of having committed a murder almost twenty years ago. As expected, the trump presidency has descended into a complete and total nightmare. :(

He right out killed good portion of those 100k covid victims. 10k would be lower estimate. I wouldn't worry about Twitter.
 
Some media analysts are thinking this is a fight Twitter can't win. From CNN:
Twitter isn't going to remove Trump's account. Which means that he can use the platform Twitter affords him to savage, well, Twitter. He's already doing it...The point here is that Twitter, for a lot of reasons -- some of which are its fault and some of which aren't -- has no chance in a fight over facts and truth with Trump. Unless they are willing to use the nuclear option of suspending him from the site, which brings its own massive set of complicated questions -- and is not a sure-fire solution anyway. CNN

As for the 'tweets' that started all of this, accusing Joe Scarborough of a murder without any evidence, even some Republicans are troubled by that. From Politico:
“I know Joe Scarborough. Joe is a friend of mine,” Mitt Romney posted on Twitter. “I don’t know T.J. Klausutis [the woman's husband]. Joe can weather vile, baseless accusations but T.J.? His heart is breaking. Enough already.” Other Republicans piled onto Romney's criticism Wednesday, with Rep. Peter King of New York — who once served with Scarborough — suggesting the president back down. The veteran Republican said regardless of his differences with Scarborough, Trump’s attacks were “out of bounds” and that there are “no records of something as serious as that.”

Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming — the No. 3 House Republican — also weighed in, telling reporters on the Hill that Trump "should stop tweeting" about Scarborough. “We’re in the middle of a pandemic," Cheney said. "He’s the commander in chief of this nation, and it’s causing great pain to the family of the young woman who died. So I would urge him to stop it.” Politico link

We have a president who is now fighting over his 'right' to spread lies and misinformation on social media. It's really sickening. :(

I'll be a bit put out it Twitter removes him. It is the best direct link for seeing what is going on in that oatmeal brain of his. And several times a day, at that.

Everyone who knew there was no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion also knew the #ObamaGate "investigations" were never really investigations at all but were always a coup d'etat. They ALL must answer for their crimes. Every damn one. Sic semper tyrannis.

Also, the plot thickens. Will Comey spend years in jail & admit his illegal acts, or, like the weasel he is, say he was directed to spy on Trump by someone else? How loyal is Comey to Obama & Rice, who clearly just blamed #ObamaGate on him. He did nothing "by the book".

New papers make CLEAR that the Obama Administration SPIED, in an unprecedented manner, on the Trump Campaign and beyond, and even on the United States Senate. Nobody would ever have believed that this level of illegality and corruption would be taking place in our beautiful USA!
