It has to be through the introduction of an actual bill/executive order/etc. but it does count even if struck down by the courts.

Funny thing - when this appeared in my feed, I took it as an open answer submission question where x is a variable and we could propose different things Harris might ban. I didn't realize until I came here that x=X!

Can we clarify some bounds here?

  1. What if she expresses an interest in doing so, but takes no concrete steps (bill/exec order/etc) towards it?

  1. What if she issues an executive order to, for example, force X to take down specific content (hate speech, misinfo, etc)?

    1. If Musk (Yaccarino?) refuses this, then she threatens to take down X as a result of his refusal?

  2. If a congressperson introduces a bill/expresses interest and Harris makes no comment?

    1. If she expresses vague general support?

    2. If she explicitly endorses the effort?

  1. She has to take concrete steps. Makes the resolution easier for me and I think is reasonable, still a lot more lenient than "first move" in the tweet.

  2. I think I would only count this if it actually results in x being de facto banned.

  3. If someone introduces a bill and she unambiguously supports it, I think that should count. If the bill passes and she doesn't veto it, it counts even if she doesn't talk about it at all.

Does that seem reasonable?

@jskf on point 2, what happens if an executive order is issued within her first 3 months, but non-compliance from X results in a ban later than her first 3 months?

@bence I could imagine situations where I would probably want to count that, but I also want to avoid delaying resolution. If you have a suggestion for specific criteria I'll consider it.
