AI Summary

This bill, the "End U.N. Censorship Act," prohibits the use of U.S. federal funds to develop, implement, or support the "iVerify" tool developed by the United Nations Development Programme, or any other effort that seeks to label speech or expression as misinformation. It also prohibits making voluntary contributions to the United Nations or any of its entities that fund, implement, or support the "iVerify" platform or similar initiatives targeting speech. Additionally, the bill requires any amounts withheld under these provisions to be permanently rescinded and deposited in the general fund of the Treasury, rather than considered as arrears to be repaid to the United Nations.
