WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Biden on Friday revoked an executive order by former President Donald Trump that had directed regulators to limit liability protections for social media companies.

The White House released an order by Biden late Friday revoking several of Trump's executive orders. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
