Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) has thrown his support behind President Donald Trump’s threat to veto a defense bill amid the president’s efforts to curb liability protections for internet companies who he has accused of censorship and arbitrary policing of content.

Trump said in a Dec. 1 tweet that he would scuttle the $740 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) if it doesn’t include a termination of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields social media companies from liability for most content posted on their platforms while still letting them moderate it.
