Stopping Government Censorship
Senator Eric Schmitt has new legislation to combat censorship by federal agencies
When the government starts meddling in the flow of information, it’s time to sound the alarm.
Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has introduced new legislation requiring federal watchdogs to disclose censorship activities by federal agencies.
This bill is a rallying cry for transparency and accountability, and it’s a stark reminder of what’s at stake when bureaucrats overreach.
The Censorship Threat
The Biden Administration and its allies have faced growing scrutiny for working with social media platforms to moderate content — often with a heavy-handed approach that targets conservative voices. This chilling pattern of behavior undermines free speech and sets a dangerous precedent.
Senator Schmitt’s bill aims to combat this by requiring agencies like the FBI, DOJ, and others to disclose their censorship communications to Congress. This transparency measure would empower lawmakers to oversee federal actions and ensure that no agency becomes a tool for political silencing.
“The American people deserve to know when their government agencies are colluding to suppress speech, and Congress has a right to hold them accountable.”
— Sen. Eric Schmitt
Protecting Americans from the Administrative State
This isn’t an isolated issue. From the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story to shadow-banning conservative commentators, federal agencies have shown a troubling willingness to interfere in public discourse.
Senator Schmitt has outlined three ways to stop it.
Big Tech companies that engage in censorship should lose their Section 230 legal protection.
Federal bureaucrats who engage in censorship should be able to be sued individually for violating a citizen’s First Amendment rights.
We need more transparency to expose these actions.
Senator Schmitt’s bill not only seeks to halt this practice but to expose how deeply entrenched it has become.
Such legislation is especially critical as conservatives face an uphill battle in the media and tech industries. Without watchdogs like Senator Schmitt holding the line, the bureaucratic state could continue its unchecked war on conservative principles, values, and voters.
