SRES 567 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution expressing that any attempt by foreign entities to censor or penalize constitutionally protected speech of United States persons shall be opposed.

This resolution expresses the Senate's opposition to foreign entities, specifically referencing the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA), attempting to censor or penalize constitutionally protected speech by U.S. persons. It directly affects U.S. citizens' free speech rights and U.S. technology companies (like X) operating in the U.S., which face EU fines under the DSA for content moderation practices. Key provisions state the Senate disapproves of foreign attempts to force U.S. entities to adopt censorship measures or levy penalties for speech protected under the First Amendment. The resolution condemns the EU's enforcement actions, including a $140 million fine against X, as conflicting with U.S. constitutional principles. It is a non-binding statement of opposition, not a new law.
