Protecting Media Free Speech from Government Influence

This act aims to protect the free speech of entities regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). It means the government cannot dictate what media or other telecommunications companies say, nor force them to align with a president's political views. Citizens can therefore expect that the information and content they receive will be more independent from the current administration.
Key points
FCC cannot require companies to align their speech with a president's political ideology.
This prohibition applies to all rules, orders, and conditions for approving mergers or acquisitions.
Citizens can expect greater media independence and freedom of content choice.
