A New Law for Free Speech

Two men are in the US Capitol. They are Ted Cruz and Ron Wyden. They are senators. They have a new law today. The name is the JAWBONE Act. This law is for the First Amendment. It is for free speech. Sometimes government people are bad. They pressure big companies. They pressure TV stations. They pressure social media. This pressure is 'jawboning'. Jawboning is bad. It stops free speech. People are unhappy with this.

The law stops the government. The government cannot pressure TV networks. The government cannot pressure AI services. This is a big rule. The rule is for everyone. It is for the Biden administration. It is for the Trump administration. It is bipartisan. This means two parties like the law.

Now, people can sue. This is important. People go to court. They ask for money. The money is for the damage. The damage comes from censorship. State lawyers can also help. They use civil actions. This helps many Americans.

Ted Cruz says a lot. He says the government is a weapon. The government pressures Big Tech. People speak about vaccine rules. They speak about elections. Then the government stops them. This is wrong. Ron Wyden says more things. He says jawboning is not new. It happens on TV. It happens on phone apps.

The law has a new website. It is a portal. All government messages go there. People can see the messages. This stops secret plans. The portal is for the public. It is for Congress too. Now, the government is open. Free speech is safe. The First Amendment is strong.
