Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship
AI Summary:
This is a policy document: an executive order issued by the President of the United States.
This regulation establishes a policy to protect free speech rights and prohibit federal censorship. It declares that over the previous four years, the government inappropriately suppressed speech under the guise of combating misinformation. The order directs federal departments and agencies to secure citizens' constitutional right to free speech, ensuring no federal resources or personnel can unconstitutionally abridge speech. It mandates that the Attorney General investigate past censorship activities and prepare a report with recommendations for remedial actions. The order explicitly states it does not create legally enforceable rights and must be implemented consistent with existing law and available appropriations. The primary goal is to prevent government interference with constitutionally protected speech and address potential past misconduct related to speech suppression.
