Trump orders government not to infringe on Americans’ speech, calls for censorship investigation
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump signed an executive order prohibiting federal officials from infringing on Americans’ free speech, claiming to combat government “censorship.” Issued on his first day of a second term, the order emerges from accusations that the Biden administration pressured social media companies to censor content. The attorney general is instructed to investigate potential free speech violations during the previous administration. While Trump aims to defend right-wing speech, the order neglects the dangers posed by misinformation, particularly related to election security. Trump’s track record includes attacking the press and positioning himself as a free expression advocate, despite recent accusations against the government.
