Free Speech Protection Act

This bill, the Free Speech Protection Act, prohibits federal employees from directing or pressuring social media platforms to censor protected speech or label content as misinformation. It bans government requests for user data related to specific topics and requires agencies to report all communications with platforms about content moderation. Violations would result in penalties including fines, job loss, and bans from government contracts. The bill also terminates the Disinformation Governance Board and prohibits government grants related to labeling content as misinformation. Affected individuals can sue government agencies and employees for violations.
