Trump signs order aimed at social media

Newsday

Available for over a year

The executive order gives regulators the power to pursue legal actions against firms such as Facebook and Twitter for the way they police content on their platforms. A professor of Digital Media gives us her view on what will happen next. We go to the Philippines to hear the latest on the more than 20,000 returned migrant workers who are hoping they will finally be allowed to leave quarantine – after some have spent more than a month waiting for test results proving they are coronavirus free. And how are young people in Kenya managing the lockdown, which not only has affected their social life, but their income too.
