WASHINGTON, Feb. 7, 2025 – As President Donald Trump escalates his war on so-called “government censorship,” some Capitol Hill Republicans are reviving efforts to overhaul Section 230, starting with a bill from Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz.

On Wednesday, Gosar reintroduced the Stop the Censorship Act, marking another attempt by House Republicans to strip Big Tech of the legal shield the lawmakers say has allowed platforms to suppress conservative viewpoints with impunity.

The bill, co-sponsored by Reps. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo.; Doug Collins, R-Ga.; Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo.; Mary Miller, R-Ill.; Troy Nehls, R-Texas; Ralph Norman, R-S.C.; and Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., would limit tech companies’ ability to moderate content and expose them to more legal liability for their decisions.
