At the end of the day, the ability of our government to pressure Big Tech to censor speech – especially when it’s under the auspices of ensuring Americans’ discourse conforms to the “facts” of the moment – is far more dangerous than Americans commenting on the latest scientific observations.

The fact that Psaki and the Biden administration freely admit to engaging in this kind of Big Tech authoritarianism – and colluding with our social media companies to facilitate their censorship – should chill anyone who values the free exchange of ideas in America.

To combat this attempt by the Biden administration to compel Big Tech to censor Americans’ speech, conservative policymakers must act now to safeguard free speech on the internet.

To that end, I plan to introduce legislation, the PRESERVE Online Speech Act, to require technology companies to disclose any U.S. or foreign government requests or recommendations regarding content moderation.
