Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship

Executive Order January 28, 2025 Document 2025-01902

Summary

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at restoring free speech and ending federal censorship. The order prohibits federal entities from using resources to suppress constitutionally protected speech, mandates an investigation into past government actions that may have infringed on free speech, and emphasizes the protection of speech rights on online platforms. This move could have significant legal and political implications by potentially altering how federal agencies interact with social media companies and influencing the national conversation on free speech and government oversight.
