A new bill is aimed at preventing the government from colluding with tech companies. It is called The Transparency in Bureaucratic Communications Act. It was introduced by Republican Senator Eric Schmitt from Missouri.
It would require the government to disclose communications with tech companies and disclose discussions about content moderation, which the government has used to censor regular Americans and their questions about things the government did not want them censoring.
Schmitt was one of the Republicans that sued the Biden administration for censoring Americans during the pandemic. That case was dismissed by the Supreme Court but not on merit. It was dismissed on a technicality.
“The incoming Republican Congress cannot allow deep-state bureaucrats to continue censoring the free speech of our constituents any longer,” Schmitt said about his bill. “We will find the bureaucratic rot and we will rip it out.”
