Accountability for Government Censorship Act: Transparency in Platform Communications
This act requires government agencies to disclose if and how they communicated with online platforms to influence content. The goal is to increase transparency in government actions and ensure citizens have full access to information, potentially impacting their freedom of speech online.
Key points
Government agencies must report all instances over the past five years where they communicated with online platforms (e.g., social media) to remove, suppress, or add information to lawful speech.
Reports must include details such as the employee's name, justification for the action, platform name, and outcome of the communication.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will compile this information and submit it to Congress, and agency Inspectors General will review compliance with the new rules.
