Campus PC is out of control

Those wacky Oberlin sophomores are at it again:

President Trump threatened to veto an annual defense-policy bill if it doesn’t include language revoking a provision that gives social-media companies broad immunity for the content they publish from users on their sites.

Mr. Trump demanded on Tuesday night that Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act be repealed.

“[I]f 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,” he wrote on Twitter.

Quite simply, Trump (like many Republicans) wants to use the threat of litigation to force every tech company to act as Republican lickspittles like Mark Zuckerberg does. Seems bad!

Of course, that’s not Trump’s only dealbreaker:

The president had previously threatened to veto the same defense bill, which includes a 3% pay raise for U.S. troops, over his opposition to language that would rename military bases honoring Confederate commanders. The legislation would authorize a total of $740 billion in fiscal year 2021 for the Defense Department’s and Energy Department’s national-security programs.

Well, in fairness you can understand why he wants to preserve the legacy of the statesmen with the greatest influence on the contemporary Republican Party.
