Section 230 is a serious threat to our National Security & Election Integrity

Section 230, which is a liability shielding gift from the U.S. to Big Tech (the only companies in America that have it - corporate welfare!), is a serious threat to our National Security & Election Integrity. Our Country can never be safe & secure if we allow it to stand.....

.....Therefore, if the very dangerous & unfair Section 230 is not completely terminated as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), I will be forced to unequivocally VETO the Bill when sent to the very beautiful Resolute desk. Take back America NOW. Thank you!
Section 230 refers to the part of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, which is being used by big tech as a way of washing their hands of any liability concerning content posted on their platforms, and to defend censorship of the content.
Critics have charged that Twitter, Facebook and Google should no longer be protected as neutral platforms, given that they are acting as publishers.
