Well, sure. Lots of people see this as petty.Because his negotiation is reckless. Of course big tech censorship has been an issue for years, and it'd be fantastic if we could do something about it. But it sounds to me he's lashing out blindly because his feelings are hurt and the immediate solution he wants will backfire in the long run.
The White House issued an executive order along with a press release explaining what they're doing in pretty sober terms. Got a little traction but was mostly ignored.
Trump issues a Tweet saying Repeal 230. Now everyone is paying attention.
I guess it depends on how you look at it, but one path is effective in rallying action. Trump's image isn't going to be hurt, most people already think he's a monster. Big tech, political activists, MSM types - I think we can count on them to take this a little too far.
Going to be fun to watch.
