Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship

What it means

Prohibits federal agencies and employees from censoring Americans' speech or pressuring social media companies to moderate content. Directs the Attorney General to investigate alleged censorship activities from the previous administration and recommend remedial actions.

Expected impact

• Likely to appeal to free speech advocates and those concerned about government overreach in content moderation
• May lead to reduced government involvement in social media content decisions
• Could result in legal actions against officials found to have unconstitutionally restricted speech
• Potential policy shifts in how federal agencies address misinformation online
