Free Speech Protection: Banning Federal Officials from Online Censorship.
This bill aims to prevent federal government employees, including the President and Vice President, from pressuring online platforms and media to remove, block, or label content protected by the First Amendment. It establishes clear boundaries between the government and tech companies, safeguarding your right to express opinions freely online. If your content is censored due to such pressure, you gain the right to sue the government agency and the specific official for damages.
Key points
Federal officials cannot direct or encourage platforms to censor, remove, block, or label your content as 'disinformation'.
The government cannot request platforms to share your private data (e.g., search history, location, messages) without a valid court warrant.
Citizens whose rights are violated gain the right to sue the government agency and the specific employee for violating these prohibitions.
