Introduced

Summary

This resolution would push back against foreign attempts to punish Americans for constitutionally protected speech, focusing on protecting U.S. free speech from foreign censorship. It frames public forums, including social media, as vital to free speech and criticizes the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) for pressuring U.S. platforms to remove speech.

Show full summary
  • Reaffirms a commitment to protect the commercial interests and free speech rights of United States persons.
  • States the DSA is incompatible with the U.S. free speech tradition, cites specific actions such as an August 12, 2024 threat to Elon Musk and a December 5, 2025 $140,000,000 fine against X, and notes the DSA can authorize fines up to 6 percent of a company’s global revenue for noncompliance.
  • Disapproves of foreign attempts to export censorship or levy penalties on Americans and would urge the administration to oppose and respond to any implementation of those activities.
