What is Section 230? Why Donald Trump wants to terminate the legislation - and Diaper Don meme explained
In his latest Twitter outburst the outgoing president raised concerns over ‘National security’

Outgoing president Donald Trump continues to make waves on Twitter - this time by launching a scathing attack on the social media platform itself.
Trump claimed Twitter was “sending out totally false trends” before stating a passage of internet law - section 230 - should be terminated in the interests of “national security”.
His latest outburst came in the wake of Twitter users making references to his appearance at the Thanksgiving press conference, using the #DiaperDon.
They drew attention to the smaller than usual desk he sat behind during his address, as well as the slightly more padded appearance of his trousers.
What is section 230?
The law Trump was referring to was section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, which protects internet platforms of third party content published on its sites.
