House lawmakers are set to consider legislation that will punish federal employees through civil penalties who use their positions to advocate for censoring civilian viewpoints.
The Protecting Speech from Government Interference Act, which expands the Hatch Act, defines censorship as using influence or coercion to remove or suppress lawful speech from an interactive computer service.
The legislation, authored by Rep. James Comer, Kentucky Republican and Chairman of the House Oversight Committee has 16 GOP co-sponsors and is expected on the House floor this week. In numerous emails from November 2022, leading up to this year’s midterm elections, the FBI compiled a list of accounts that the agency had determined violated Twitter’s terms of service, independent journalist Matt Taibbi, showed.
A Twitter employee replied with an update to the FBI, saying that it had permanently suspended seven of the accounts, temporarily suspended one account and “had Tweets bounced for civic misinformation policy violations” from nine accounts.
