Hasn't happened yet and Trump has said really nothing about its contents.
Ill update the OP when one is actually made (or not made).
Trump HAS SIGNED Executive Order after Twitter fact-checks his tweet - How fucked are social media corporations for fucking with the First Amendment?

That was because he uses his Twitter as a venue of official statements, and you cannot deny people from viewing official government publications (which blocking does) what he should have been doing was muting those people.

Pee peee poo poo, you smell like doo doo.
That's what it's going to say.
If the account ever gets banned it takes the whole internet down with it.

At some point it would be nice to address everyone who gets their crowd funding nuked for wrong think.

I can't believe he's going to make twitter add an edit button.

You're right about him being WAY too late, you don't get to call anyone senile. You support fucking Joe Biden, a candidate that unironically has dementia and currently is mentally deteriorating.

The real issue here is that because Twitter presents itself as a platform, it's protected by regulations that Section 230 offers it that prevent it from damages that could occur the same way that a publisher would be held liable for the content on their platform or any errors therein. When Twitter decided to effectively editorialize a user's content in such a way that it was meant to rebuke the content, they ceased to be a platform and became a publisher. They've toed that line for years, but this was a direct step over the boundary.
Companies like Twitter are protected under Section 230 because these companies are supposed to be platforms for peoples individual thoughts, and this protects them from any liability they might have towards that user's opinions, whatever that liability might be, because it's expressly stated that the company can't be held responsible, because the company has or won't take any effort to editorialize the user's content. It might regulate or remove content in some form, be it shadow-banning or deletion or blacklisting the user, but it won't edit their content to change the meaning.
Moreover, we are still in a state of national emergency and the user that this company decided to try and editorialize was the President of the United States, effectively interfering with his communications. Twitter has made no effort to "correct" any of the people pushing Russian Collusion, nor did they interfere with any blatant propaganda spun by the CCP or by ISIS or by Iran, and they never added any addendums or fact-checks to anyone talking about Ukrainian quid-pro-quo allegations, or any bullshit story that any reporter whipped up that was such a blatant like that they had to personally retract it later.
By editorializing content in the way that they did, it would be very easy to argue that they've become a publisher, and are now exempt from the protections that Section 230 offers, which means they would be subject to the same regulations as other digital publishers: They open themselves to regulation by the FCC.
The FCC and the DCB were given a large amount of power by Section 606 of the 1934 Communications Act, which gave the president complete control over electronic transmissions in the event of war or other national emergencies. Section 606(c) is what gave the president the ability to suspend the entire electronic regulatory system, meaning that if Twitter wants to play games, the President of the United States is well within his authority to direct the FCC to shut their entire company off.
I'm willing to bet that Twitter is going to blink before that happens.

You're very upset even though you agree with me, you admit that Trump is far behind on this. Any capable leader who is not senile would have understand this is raping his core base, all he does is browse twitter so for him to take this long shows he's not mentally there. Even "Sleepy" Joe Biden was talking about regulating social media a half year ago, but it takes Trump this long to do it?
Joe Biden has lost his ability to speak as well but clearly Trump is showing significant mental decline, not to mention his life long adderall addiction.

Well, yeah. It was just a campaign promise and like all politicians, Trump doesn't follow through with them. It's like this Obama with closing Guantanamo then not doing it or Regan with making border security a priority then signing Simpson-Mazzoli. No need to act like a little bitch and write a 500 word essay about how you are not totally mad and how you actually haven't given a valid reason why I'm wrong other than stating what I've already said.
P.S. I'm not the one so upset that I project my feelings of anger onto you (which you are clearly doing right now by insinuating that in the first fucking sentence of your blogpost).

You made a claim replying to me and I responded, having to resort to calling it a "blogpost" while not engaging to say I'm mad really shows me how not mad you are.

Dude, it's the fucking Internet. I don't give a shit about anything going on here because fundamentally it isn't affecting me in any meaningful way past being a source of entertainment and possibly information. It says a lot that you think everyone cares about shit on the Internet the same way you do when it ultimately won't affect 99.9999% of their life in any meaningful way.

Nah he's the President of the USA and one of the best Presidents of the USA.
Donald Trump can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. What was late for other Executives is merely PRECISELY WHEN HE MEANS TO for President Donald Trump. If he does it, it is the right time. Not a moment too soon, not a moment too late. They have hung themselves.

Twitter's fact checks are inherently political. This probably tells us what the EO is about, he's going to strip 230 immunity from publishers who engage in the political process. They are going to be treated like 501 c3s going forward.
Zuckerberg is condemning Twitter to position Facebook. He's saying the company should take no stand on content.
Matt Gaetz is crafting legislation for social media platforms. No word on how this connects with the executive order, but... Gaetz is pretty smart. He's probably crafting a compromise bill that pulls back from some excesses that might be in the EO. This would give him leverage to get the bill up for a vote.
WSJ had talked about Facebook's attempts to de-polarize conversations on the platform. Interesting read, gave me the sense there are too many cooks in the kitchen.

I'd love to see twitter go offline for a week. Imagine all the attention starvation induced suicides.

The order could be anything from stripping article 230 protections from all websites (effectively closing down Kiwi Farms) to only stripping it from websites with a high enough userbase, to making it illegal to ban/hide tweets from politicians (which would result in a Laura Loomer victory), or even a nothingburger that's just designed to trick his followers into thinking he did something, and so on. Plus, anything enacted now can and will be used by every future president.
I want to read it before making any judgements.
