RESTORING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ENDING FEDERAL CENSORSHIP
The White House
January 20, 2025
By the authority vested in me as
President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and
section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Purpose. The
First Amendment to the United States Constitution, an amendment essential
to the success of our Republic, enshrines the right of the American people to
speak freely in the public square without Government interference. Over
the last 4 years, the previous administration trampled free speech rights by
censoring Americans’ speech on online platforms, often by exerting substantial
coercive pressure on third parties, such as social media companies, to
moderate, deplatform, or otherwise suppress speech that the Federal Government
did not approve. Under the guise of combatting “misinformation,”
“disinformation,” and “malinformation,” the Federal Government infringed on the
constitutionally protected speech rights of American citizens across the United
States in a manner that advanced the Government’s preferred narrative about
significant matters of public debate. Government censorship of speech is
intolerable in a free society.
Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States to:
(a) secure the right of the American people to engage in constitutionally
protected speech;
(b) ensure that no Federal
Government officer, employee, or agent engages in or facilitates any conduct
that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen;
(c) ensure that no taxpayer
resources are used to engage in or facilitate any conduct that would
unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen; and
(d) identify and take
appropriate action to correct past misconduct by the Federal Government related
to censorship of protected speech.
Sec. 3. Ending Censorship of
Protected Speech.
(a) No Federal department, agency, entity, officer, employee, or agent may act or use any Federal resources in a manner contrary to section 2 of this order.
(b) The Attorney General, in consultation with the heads of executive departments and agencies, shall investigate the activities of the Federal Government over the last 4 years that are inconsistent with the purposes and policies of this order and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken based on the findings of the report.
Sec. 4. General Provisions.
(a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise
affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive
department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office
of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative
proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
THE WHITE HOUSE,
January 20, 2025.
For reference, here is Wikipedia's description of the anti-criticism law adopted in Nazi Germany that, among other things, prohibited criticizing the government, Nazi Party or Nazi Party officials. One key difference between the Heimtückegesetz and Trump's acts against the news media is that the Nazi law was actually enacted by the legislature, albeit under Nazi pressure, whereas Trump's actions are entirely without legal foundation.
Treachery Act of 1934
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treachery
Act of 1934 was a German law established by the Third
Reich on 20 December 1934.[1] Known
as the Heimtückegesetz, its official title was the "Law
against Treacherous Attacks on the State and Party and for the Protection of
Party Uniforms" (Gesetz gegen heimtückische Angriffe auf Staat und
Partei und zum Schutz der Parteiuniformen). It established penalties for
the abuse of Nazi Party badges and uniforms, restricted the
right to freedom of speech, and criminalized all remarks
causing putative severe damage to the welfare of the Third Reich, the prestige
of the Nazi government or the Nazi Party.
