POTUS vetoed the 2021 National Defence Authorisation Act on Wednesday, describing the bill as a document that “would put the interests of the Washington, DC, establishment over those of the American people”.
US President Donald Trump has again lashed out at the 2021 National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA), vowing that he will not “stand by and watch this travesty of a bill happen without reigning in Big Tech”, an apparent nod to Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft.
Section 230 is part of the nation’s internet legislation known as the Communications Decency Act (CDA) of 1996, which protects internet companies from liability for the content they host. Trump earlier claimed that Section 230 “facilitates the spread of foreign disinformation online”.
In a separate tweet, he described the NDAA as “a gift to China, Russia, & Big Tech”.
Saturday’s remarks by POTUS come a couple of days after he delivered on his past threats to veto the $740 million defence bill, stating he declines to greenlight the NDAA, because, according to him, it “would put the interests of the Washington, DC, establishment over those of the American people”.
The move was followed by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi making it plain that the chamber will vote early next week on whether to override Trump’s veto.
