President Trump has dropped the hammer on Big Tech by going all-in to repeal all their legal protections due to the criminal censorship of conservatives online.
POTUS revealed late Tuesday that he will veto the National Defense Authorization Act unless Congress repeals Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act.
In a series of strongly worded tweets, the President called section 230 “very dangerous & unfair” and “a serious threat to our National Security & Election Integrity.”

Summit.news reports: 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.
In October, the Department of Justice sent a letter to Congress pushing for modifications to the 25-year-old law.
“Today’s large online platforms hold tremendous power over the information and views available to the American people. It is therefore critical that they be honest and transparent with users about how they use that power,” the letter stated.
Meanwhile, proving the point, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced this week that he wants to provide platform users with “authoritative information about Covid-19 vaccines.”
During a conversation with Dr. Fauci this week, Zuckerberg said: “There’ll be a few important things that we can do together. We’re already planning a push around authoritative information about the vaccines.”

They are t neutral at all ,clearly, so the Act should be repealed ,They should only be allowed to censor material as is done under government legislation in a y publishing Industry. They are not the conscience of anyone except maybe pedophile anti Christ types .And socialists of Hitlers type .That is greedy capitalist pigs who are fraudulent benevolent philanthropists with no intentions other than to deceive the world
The Bastards of the Universe are like a snake. You have to cut the head completely off.
The Democrat-Socialists will breathe new life in them!
VERY long overdue. At this point, POTUS should just send US Marshalls to shutdown/seize their vast server farms
The c8nvolutions and 8noedoments enforced by law will make that easier said than done For a start dome are registered in Ireland so they keep all the taxes for themselves and give nothing back to the customers and their communities except work Which is mostly not well paid unless your high tech gay trans or queer .Second Vanguard really runs them all and no 9ne even knows who the major shareholders are except them and theyre not telling So Go figure how much power over corporate law they have Get the picture .
