Ask yourself this... has Donald ever done anything in the interest of the public good? Or is it obvious from hearing him speak for thirty seconds that he's completely self-absorbed and self-interested? (ETA: don't forget that this entire EO was drafted because he got upset that twitter hid one of his most outlandish posts.)

he falsely believes he can affect internet policy with executive orders. If actual law/policy changes did occur, it might backfire and actually harm our free speech rights. (Imagine if twitter became legally responsible for anything any random person tweeted... They would have to close the site entirely because of that liability. Removing liability from platforms like that is a cornerstone of free expression.)

For better or worse, the EO doesn't really change anything. Sorry, I don't think there will ever be a legal ground to "challenge" reddit on any of this. The best bet is to close your account and never go back. We have to keep moving, keep reading, keep writing and engaging with ideas wherever we can.
