Former President Donald Trump has announced a comprehensive plan to dismantle what he refers to as the 'Censorship Industrial Complex.' This initiative aims to end federal collusion with organizations, businesses, and individuals that censor lawful speech. Trump has pledged to fire those involved in censorship, prosecute what he calls the 'thought police,' and end federal funding to NGOs and universities involved in such activities. Additionally, he plans to modify Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to enhance free speech protections. Trump emphasized the urgency of this action by stating he would sign an executive order to this effect within hours of his inauguration. He described the fight for free speech as a matter of 'victory or death' for America and Western Civilization. Trump's first action will target the deep state and big tech companies.
