Senators Ted Cruz and Ron Wyden have introduced the JAWBONE Act, a bipartisan bill aimed at preventing government officials from coercing private companies, including AI providers, into censoring lawful speech. The legislation seeks to establish a federal cause of action against such government pressure and create a transparency system for these communications. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) supports the bill, citing its own legal battles against government coercion, such as the case involving the ICEBlock app and demands made to Apple, Google, and Meta.
