Bill > SRes567

This resolution reaffirms the United States Senate's strong commitment to protecting free speech rights and commercial interests of U.S. persons, specifically in response to the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA). The resolution condemns the EU's attempts to censor or penalize speech by U.S. persons, highlighting concerns about the DSA's requirement for large online platforms to remove certain content and its potential to impose significant financial penalties (up to 6% of a company's global revenue) for non-compliance. The Senate specifically disapproves of foreign entities' efforts to export censorship, limit free speech, levy fines against U.S. persons engaged in constitutionally protected activities, and force U.S. technology companies to develop products that could undermine free speech. Moreover, the resolution commits to opposing such activities and urges the administration to respond firmly to any attempts to implement these censorship measures, emphasizing that freedom of speech is a fundamental constitutional right and a hallmark of American values that should not be compromised by foreign regulatory actions.
