Trump Issues Executive Order at World Economic Forum to Curb Government Censorship Under Biden
Jan 23, 2025, 04:43 PM
President Donald Trump has issued an executive order aimed at curbing government censorship, marking one of his first official actions since returning to the White House. The order seeks to prevent the government from labeling the speech of American citizens as 'misinformation' or 'disinformation,' terms Trump described as the 'favorite words of censors and those who wish to stop the free exchange of ideas and progress.' Trump announced the measure during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, emphasizing that the U.S. is once again a 'free nation.' The executive order also directs the Attorney General to investigate past government actions related to censorship under the Biden administration.
