Congress Overturns Trump's Veto of Bill Without Social Media Restrictions

The Senate voted to turn a $741 billion defense authorization bill into law over President Trump’s objections, delivering the first successful veto override of his presidency in the waning days of his administration. Trump complained that the legislation did not include a repeal of a completely unrelated law — Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act — that gives technology companies certain liability protections from content third parties post to their websites.
