Prohibits executive-branch employees from using their official authority to pressure online platforms to remove, label, or suppress speech that is protected by the U.S. Constitution, while creating transparency and accountability for agency communications with platform providers. It requires regular public reporting of agency-platform contacts, narrows FOIA exemptions for such communications (with limited privacy and warrant exceptions), ends the DHS Disinformation Governance Board if it exists, bans federal grants for misinformation/disinformation programming, and requires grant recipients to certify they will not label news creators as misinformation sources or face repayment and debarment.
