The White House's recent executive order seeks to investigate perceived federal censorship under the Biden administration yet falls short in genuinely protecting First Amendment rights. While it addresses alleged suppression of speech, particularly on social media, it overlooks critical principles of transparency and fails to encompass the historical context of government influence on speech. The call for an Attorney General investigation is limited to the last four years, ignoring ongoing pressures from earlier administrations. The Executive Order, therefore, reflects political vindictiveness instead of a genuine commitment to protect citizens' speech rights.
The Executive Order ignores the need for transparency and limits its scope to the Biden administration, overlooking longstanding government influence over social media.
By focusing solely on the last four years, the order misses an opportunity to address the broader historical context of governmental pressures on speech.
