## 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. - 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.
