(Worthy News) – Several House Republicans introduced a bill on Jan. 13 that would prohibit federal workers from using their position to advocate for censoring free speech expressed on social media platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, and on other outlets.
The Protecting Speech from Government Interference Act would amend existing law “to prohibit Federal employees from advocating for censorship of viewpoints in their official capacity, and for other purposes,” reads the legislation.
The bill was introduced by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers. [ Source: CNS News (Read More…) ]
