Summary
On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at restoring free speech by prohibiting federal government involvement in censoring speech on online platforms. The order mandates that no federal resources or personnel should be used to infringe upon constitutionally protected speech, and it calls for an investigation into past government actions that may have suppressed free speech. This move could have significant legal and political implications, as it challenges previous practices and seeks to redefine the government's role in moderating online content, potentially impacting how social media platforms handle speech.
