The new executive order by President Trump may impact the traditional legal immunity presently enjoyed by many websites like blogs, online forums, eCommerce sites, recipe sites, etc. According to the executive order, If a publisher restricts certain comments or content considering it to be "obscene, filthy, lascivious, excessively violent, harassing, lewd or objectionable" but, fail to provide a reasoned explanation, adequate notice to the specific user about the restriction or didn't give an opportunity for a hearing, then the publisher might be subject to legal action against them.

So, I think instead of improving the freedom of speech on the internet, this executive order by President Trump might do the opposite by eliminating the legal immunity granted to bloggers, online forums, eCommerce sites, recipe sites and many other websites that run with user-generated content.
