Federal employees could not use their official power to push online services to restrict lawful speech. Agencies could still act on illegal speech, but many actions would trigger reports, training, and possible penalties.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Protecting Speech from Government Interference Act is a House bill in Congress.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects federal employees who contact online platforms about speech, posts, accounts, or content labels. It also affects social media companies and other online services that receive requests from federal officials. People who post online could feel the effects if the bill changes how often platforms remove, label, or limit content after contact with the government.
Why this matters: This bill matters because federal officials sometimes contact online platforms about posts, accounts, and harmful content. The bill would set clearer limits on those contacts when the speech is lawful. It could reduce government pressure on platforms to restrict speech. It could also make agencies move more slowly or carefully when online content relates to public health, elections, safety, crime, or national security.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
