  • A technology advocacy group filed the first lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's recent executive order targeting social-media companies. 

  • The lawsuit on Tuesday, filed by the Center for Democracy in Technology, argues that the order violates the First Amendment. 

  • Trump issued the executive order, which seeks to change a law protecting social media companies after Twitter flagged his tweets with a fact-check label.

  • Legal experts told Business Insider that the order would likely be hard to implement and parts of it may be illegal.
