Description

On Tuesday, after years of inaction, Twitter fact checked President Trump’s tweets for the first time. Six words were added below the original text, directing readers to outside articles refuting his claims.

Two days later, the president signed an executive order that aims to change the nature of online speech, and the platforms that host it.
