PRESERVE Online Speech Act of 2023

This bill requires online platforms (like social media companies) to publicly disclose government requests to moderate content within 7 days. Platforms must share details including which government entity made the request, its rationale, and what actions the platform took. Exceptions apply for law enforcement actions or national security matters. Noncompliance results in daily $50,000 fines enforced by the FCC. The bill aims to increase transparency around government influence on online content moderation.
