35-second read · 4 questions answered below
The bill would amend U.S. immigration law to make foreign government officials inadmissible or deportable if they took actions against a U.S. citizen that would violate the First Amendment if done by a U.S. official. It does not define "censorship" precisely, relying instead on First Amendment standards for enforcement.
Foreign government officials, diplomats, or regulators accused of pressuring or punishing Americans' speech would be affected; U.S. citizens are not directly regulated.
Enforcement would depend on interpretation by immigration officials, the State Department, or courts, and could affect diplomatic relations and how the U.S. handles foreign influence over American speech, including online.
