A resolution expressing that any attempt by foreign entities to censor or penalize constitutionally protected speech of United States persons shall be opposed.
This resolution expresses Senate opposition to foreign attempts to censor or penalize Americans exercising free speech rights. The measure specifically targets the European Union's Digital Services Act, which the resolution argues pressures U.S. social media companies to remove content and threatens them with significant fines—including a $140 million fine against X (formerly Twitter) issued in December 2025. The resolution contends that the EU is attempting to export its speech regulations to the United States and cites examples like threats made to Elon Musk over an interview with President Trump conducted on U.S. soil. As a resolution rather than legislation, this measure carries no funding or legal requirements; instead, it formally states the Senate's position and urges the Trump administration to respond firmly to any such foreign censorship efforts. The resolution ultimately reaffirms the Senate's commitment to protecting both the free speech rights and commercial interests of Americans against foreign government interference.
