Bill > HR9207

This bill, the Standing to Challenge Government Censorship Act, prohibits federal employees and contractors from directing online platforms to censor any speech that is protected by the First Amendment. Specifically, the bill prohibits federal employees from using any form of communication to direct, coerce, or encourage an online platform to remove, suppress, suspend, or otherwise restrict access to constitutionally protected speech. The bill also prohibits federal employees from sharing user information or content with federal agencies or entering into partnerships with platforms to monitor content. The bill provides for a private right of action, allowing individuals or state/local governments to sue the relevant federal agency and employee for violations, with a presumption of liability if the employee communicated with a platform about the person's information or content.
