FINALLY: A bipartisan effort to end unconstitutional jawboning!
The bill will require transparency and create a cause of action for damages when the feds coerce private platforms into censoring their users.
Everyone β regardless of their politics β should support this.
Government officials canβt legally censor protected speech, but they can strong-arm private parties into doing it for them. Thatβs called jawboning, and it violates your First Amendment rights.
Weβre supporting the JAWBONE Act to stop that coercion.
