GOP bill lets Americans sue 'malicious' federal workers who conspire to censor social media posts

House Republicans are rolling out a new bill to let Americans sue federal employees for alleged censorship, including on social media

"Freedom of speech is the bedrock principle of our nation. Unfortunately, many malicious actors, especially federal bureaucrats, are bent on undermining the First Amendment and censoring Americans at every turn," Bishop told Fox News Digital. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital. 

"Current law allows government agents to censor and suppress free speech with little recourse for those being silenced. My bill will change that by finally allowing Americans to sue federal employees who violate their First Amendment rights," he said. "The Censorship Industrial Complex should no longer be allowed to operate with impunity, and those who seek to destroy the freedom of speech should have to answer for it in a court of law."
