On January 1, 2021, the Senate again blocked a vote on the $2,000 relief check bill and overruled President Donald Trump‘s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), both of which Trump later criticized.
“Our Republican Senate missed an opportunity to get rid of Section 230, which gives the tech giants unlimited powers,” Trump tweeted late Friday. Pathetic!!”
“Right now, they [the Senate] want to give $600 to people who have been hit by the Chinese [Communist] virus instead of the $2,000 that they desperately need. Unfair and unwise!” “Trump wrote.
Trump also retweeted a tweet from the REPUBLICAN Senatorial National Committee (NRSC), saying: “Big Tech is back. Facebook has shut down advertising accounts for Georgia Battleground Fund, a joint fundraising committee that served NRSC and Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue.”
“There are only four days until election day, and that is not acceptable.” NRSC wrote.
Trump wrote that Republicans should have struck out Section 230 of the Defense (Authorization) Act and not had this problem. Never learn!!
The U.S. Senate voted 81-13 on Friday afternoon to override President Donald Trump’s veto of the $740.5 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). On December 28, 2020, the U.S. House of Representatives overturned the president’s decision by a vote of 322 to 87.
The president has issued several public warnings about vetoing the 2020 Defense Bill, opposing changes to the names of military bases, slowing troop withdrawal from overseas, and wanting to repeal Section 230, a shield for technology companies.
In vetoing the NDAA, Trump said the bill still failed to make any meaningful changes to Section 230 of the Communications and Decency Act.
The provision gives social media companies immunity from prosecution for content that appears on their platforms, or for removing parts of it.
“Not ending Section 230 — the very dangerous national security risks it poses would make our intelligence operations almost impossible to carry out, because it lets everyone know what we are doing every step of the way.” “Trump said in the rejection letter.
In this year’s election fraud controversy, Google, twitter, facebook and other high-tech companies, under the protection of article 230, have continuously exercised the policy of deletion and suppression against statements suggesting election fraud and ballot stuffing. Posts by both Trump and Republican lawmakers have been repeatedly hidden or labeled.
