Maybe I'm a cynic but his seems too good to be true, what's the catch? Will the FCC pull the teeth out of this EO in the rule-making process? What does this actually mean for freedom of speech online?

Basically all major social platforms have devolved into the paradigm of ideological content curation and algorithmic bias while maintaining the immunity section 230 provides. They brought everyone in on the assumption of a public commons with organic reach and then did a bait and switch for totalitarian control, in many cases ruining lives and businesses in the process. Obviously Minds has been first amendment focused since day 1 and always will be. The missing component here is the algorithms. How can the big tech companies prove they aren't manipulating without open sourcing their code? If people don't know they are being censored then how can it even be reported?

The catch is that it will do nothing.

Bill Ottman is correct.
