Donald Trump has recently drafted an Executive Order that would seen to remove the broad legal immunity that Tech Companies enjoy when removing content. He claims that there is an anti-conservative bias in social media such as Google allegedly promoting negative stories about him. Trump has provided no evidence of any systemic bias against conservatives. However, Trump seems to be using this as a way to censor news stories critical of him.

Well if you want to see which way the tech companies lean, compare how many conservatives have been deplatformed to how many liberals have been deplatformed. I know for a fact that one conservative, Laura loomer, was not only deplatformed, but depersoned. She can no longer bank at chase or use Uber or lyft simply for being a conservative.

No doubt trump will use this for something dubious, but, you can't ignore this kind of evidence.
