#1 Trump's reasoning is, I think, flawed here.

Section 230 (allowing internet publishers legal protection from publishing 3rd party opinions) is not a great national security risk compared to many other problems.

Section 230 should have been addressed in separate legislation. This has been obvious for years.

#2 ..except they've never addressed it. A couple of the big techies do work with the CCP.

The veto is expected to be overridden next week with a vote in the House Monday and in the Senate, Tuesday.

#3 CCP whores + suppressing information to throw elections
= 1. risk to free and fair elections
= 2. risk to public confidence
= 3. risk to elected leaders' legitimacy
= 4. risk of bitter national division
= 5. risk of Civil War II

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = major risk to our national security

Actually, this is probably the biggest national security risk this country faces

#4 Big Tech censorship and propagandizing is a national security problem.
