Jawbone Act aims to protect free speech by preventing federal coercion of private speech platforms.
The Justice Against Weaponized Bureaucratic Overreach to Networked Expression Act, or the Jawbone Act, seeks to safeguard free speech by prohibiting federal agencies from coercing private speech platforms, such as broadcasters, interactive computer services, and artificial intelligence systems. The Act creates a federal cause of action for violations, allowing aggrieved parties to seek compensatory damages, equitable relief, and litigation costs. It also mandates the establishment of a portal for reporting and reviewing government communications to these platforms.
