FREE SPEECH Act of 2025

This bill seeks to prevent the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from compelling any entity it regulates to conform its speech to the political ideology of a presidential administration. It explicitly states that the FCC may not issue rules or orders that would impose such a requirement on broadcasters, telecommunication companies, or other regulated entities. Furthermore, the legislation ensures that the FCC cannot use its approval processes, including those for mergers or acquisitions or any other required approvals, as a means to dictate the political alignment of an entity's speech. This measure is designed to protect the editorial independence and freedom of expression for all entities under the Commission's regulatory authority, preventing governmental influence over their content.
