What can I say: Ohio really hates foreign censorship efforts!
Proud of these reps from my home state! 💙
BREAKING: A second GRANITE Act-style censorship shield, the HOMEFRONT Act, has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by @WarrenDavidson.
It would allow foreign censors to be sued, for attorney's fees and damages, in U.S. courts.
Analysis:

NEW: Facing the threat of foreign fines and takedown orders, American platforms and creators may start over-moderating just to avoid a foreign judgment landing in a U.S. court. Rep. Michael Rulli's GRANITE Act would give Americans the right to go to federal court and get those judgments declared unenforceable, and it strips foreign states of sovereign immunity when they try to collect on them. buff.ly/KOpGOEg

The United States is home to the most talented AI researchers in the world.
Instead of harnessing American innovation, Senator Sanders is inviting foreign nationals to tell the United States how to regulate AI.
It would be like channeling Hugo Chavez to get advice on how to run our economy—oh wait, the Senator from Vermont did that 20 years ago, too.
The real threat to AI safety is letting any nation other than the United States set the global standard.

💡🇺🇸 NEW: White House Releases AI Framework to Govern Tech for Americans Nationwide
WASHINGTON—Today, @WhiteHouse @WHOSTP47 released a National Framework for Artificial Intelligence, which provides a blueprint for Congress to govern this nascent technology across America.
“When it comes to AI, the Trump White House understands what is at stake and what it will take to win the future. AI is a true general-purpose technology with the capability to revolutionize every industry and bring about unparalleled new economic growth and prosperity. Americans have enjoyed immense benefits from leading the world in the internet age, from the efficiencies and conveniences provided by digital services and smart devices to economic and cultural power projection abroad,” said @pat_hedger, NetChoice Director of Policy.
“The Trump administration understands that it was a light-touch regulatory environment, not 50 different confusing and conflicting regulatory regimes, that enabled the internet revolution and that innovation and investment in winning the AI future for America will require a similar approach.”
Hedger continued: “While this framework is a positive step forward, on proposals like age assurance, the devil is in the details to ensure Americans do not face censorship for protected speech. The framework contains strong language on ‘preventing censorship and protecting free speech,’ but NetChoice cautions against laws that impose unconstitutional barriers to access, such as ID mandates, which endanger the privacy of users of all ages. Our cases from Arkansas to California and Ohio should inform Congress on this issue, and NetChoice stands ready to help enact a constitutional, effective framework for American AI dominance.”

Tough to see E&C repeating this, it is not an argument, it’s an attempt to recast a speech regulation as “commercial.”
We debunked it a while ago:
shorturl.at/z5POF
"At its core, the App Store Accountability Act rests on a simple principle: Trillion-dollar corporations should not be entering into binding commercial relationships with minors."
The App Store Accountability Act protects children and empowers parents with the ability to decide what apps their kids should be able to access on their smartphone.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This statement is probably false. Parental Controls have existed for nearly 2 decades in almost all operating systems, are one of the first steps during setup, and third party tools exist to expand their capabilities. It takes less than 10 mins to setup.

🚨🚨BREAKING: Another NetChoice Victory for Free Speech & Families: Court HALTS Virginia’s Unconstitutional Attempt to Ration Online Speech 🏛️
ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Today, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia granted NetChoice’s request for a preliminary injunction, halting the enforcement of SB 854. This ruling prevents the state of Virginia from imposing unconstitutional restrictions on how its citizens access lawful speech online while NetChoice v. Miyares moves through the legal system.
“The First Amendment is alive and well in Virginia. This ruling reaffirms that the government cannot ration access to lawful speech—even if it has noble intentions. Fundamentally, parents must stay in the driver’s seat when it comes to decisions about their families,” said @Paul_Taske, Co-Director of the NetChoice Litigation Center.
“Today’s decision underscores a core truth: unconstitutional laws do not help anyone. Moreover, laws requiring age-verification and other privacy-invasive measures actually make everyone less safe and more prone to data breaches. We are seeing this in real time as countries around the world have started mandating similar privacy-destroying age-verification regimes.”

@POTUS Defends America From AI Red Tape Patchwork With New Executive Order 🇺🇸🚀
WASHINGTON—Today, @realDonaldTrump signed an executive order that would preempt overly burdensome state rules for artificial intelligence while Congress works on a nationwide rulebook to govern AI technology. The order also tasks the @FCC with developing transparency rules for AI development that protect both consumers AND innovation.
As the President correctly noted earlier this week: “We are beating ALL COUNTRIES at this point in the race, but that won’t last long if we are going to have 50 States…involved in RULES and the APPROVAL PROCESS…You can’t expect a company to get 50 Approvals every time they want to do something. THAT WILL NEVER WORK!”
“NetChoice applauds President Trump for ensuring America can lead the world in AI innovation with this executive order. As he pointed out, startups and small businesses will greatly struggle to create and compete with a 50-state patchwork of red tape. The federal government is the appropriate regulator to govern interstate commerce like AI tools, and we look forward to working with the @WhiteHouse and Congress to set nationwide standards and a clear rulebook for innovators,” said @pat_hedger, NetChoice Director of Policy.
Hedger continued, “We are particularly encouraged by the Order’s focus on protecting the First Amendment. America’s unique position as a bastion of free speech and free expression is intimately tied to the innovation ecosystem that now has our country poised to win the AI race. NetChoice has a strong record of defending the First Amendment all the way up to the Supreme Court, and we stand ready to assist the Trump administration in this endeavor.”

Congress Should Advance Evidence-Based Solutions That Protect Kids and Empower Parents
WASHINGTON—Today, a @HouseCommerce subcommittee will examine 19 bills and consider which to include in an overall package with the goal of protecting kids online.
NetChoice applauds this thorough effort from the Committee and encourages them to move forward evidence-based solutions to enhance online safety for kids and empower parents and law enforcement over restrictions that weaken constitutional protections and cybersecurity. We submitted a statement for the record detailing our legal expertise and thoughts on the specific proposals in front of the Committee.
"We commend @RepGuthrie and @RepGusBilirakis for tackling the serious challenges of online child safety with this comprehensive hearing. NetChoice is committed to making the internet safe for both free enterprise and free expression, and we share the goal of protecting young people in the digital age,” said @abos255, NetChoice Vice President of Government Affairs.
Bos continued: “Effective solutions must be evidence-based, empowering families and holding true bad actors accountable. As such, Congress must be extremely cautious to avoid unintended consequences, like weakening constitutional guarantees and essential cybersecurity protections Americans rely on. We look forward to working with the Committee to refine these proposals so they achieve real, meaningful safety improvements for children while respecting Americans’ protected rights."
Policymaking that protects children online in America must prioritize empowerment over blanket prohibition, rejecting one-size-fits-all mandates that override parental judgment and autonomy.
Congress should focus on bolstering parents with digital tools and education and helping law enforcement hold bad actors accountable, ensuring any legislation can withstand legal scrutiny to deliver meaningful safety improvements rather than ineffective headlines.
NetChoice has been at the forefront of defending the speech rights of Americans and the online services they use to ensure genuine solutions protect children without limiting access to information.
Our Digital Safety Shield for America outlines various evidence-based policy solutions to lawmakers that can stop digital criminals, protect kids and empower parents online while upholding the rights that make America exceptional.

An Open Letter to Gov. Ron DeSantis on AI Policy
Respectfully, Governor DeSantis, you are opening the door to let Gavin Newsom and Zohran Mamdani run America’s AI marketplace and decimate our nation’s ability to counter Chinese advances in the rising AI Cold War.
Blue state lawmakers in just 4 big liberal states (CA, NY, IL, CO) have already proposed roughly 250 of the 1,000 AI bills this year, and that doesn’t include all the big Blue city AI mandates that are coming from NYC and other municipalities. These Blue state lawmakers are pushing the old Biden regulatory vision of AI regulation that President Trump wisely discarded when he took office. Last year, Colorado passed an AI bill that would expand disparate impact theories and essentially require the equivalent of a DEI oversight layer be added to all algorithmic systems going forward through new “AI audits” and “algorithmic impact assessments.” Several other states are moving the same woke AI bills, filled to new bureaucracies and technocratic mandates. Conservative views and priorities will not fare well once those new regulatory systems are up and running.
Moreover, those woke policies will come to dominate AI systems in ALL states, including yours, because firms will be forced to comply with the most repressive regulations in order to do business across the nation. This is exactly how California came to dictate so many of the environmental and labor policies for our nation, and now they will be doing the same for AI systems regardless of what Florida or any other Red state has to say about it.
President Trump and Republican leadership are looking to advance an AI opportunity agenda to enhance American strength and beat China before they eat our lunch and push their censorious, control-oriented technology on the world. A national AI framework will still leave room for states to carry out general consumer protection regulations and basic police powers. But we need some degree of preemption if we hope to sustain vibrant markets and the development of countless life-enriching and life-saving benefits.
We have one chance to get this right. Don’t squander it all based on hatred of large technology companies because -- as the European Union learned the hard way -- when you regulate the living hell out of markets in an attempt to beat down “Big Tech,” it turns out that Big Tech firms are the only ones left standing who can handle the resulting compliance cost hell.
Support freedom and American AI greatness, Governor, not the repressive regulatory nightmare Blue states hope to usher in to defeat the Trump AI Action Plan. I don’t think you really want to give Joe Biden and the hyper-woke lunatics a win here, do you?
Stripping states of jurisdiction to regulate AI is a subsidy to Big Tech and will prevent states from protecting against online censorship of political speech, predatory applications that target children, violations of intellectual property rights and data center intrusions on power/water resources.
The rise of AI is the most significant economic and cultural shift occurring at the moment; denying the people the ability to channel these technologies in a productive way via self-government constitutes federal government overreach and lets technology companies run wild.
Not acceptable.

Congress must prevent a 50-state patchwork of conflicting and confusing AI rules.
We need a clear, consistent & light-touch national AI policy to ensure America continues to lead on tech development.
David Sacks: The AI Regulatory Frenzy at the State Level is “Very Concerning”
“Let me give you some stats on this.”
“All 50 states have introduced AI bills in 2025.”
“There's been over 1,000 bills in state legislatures.”
“118 AI laws have already been passed across the 50 states.”
“Everyone just seems to be motivated by the imperative to ‘do something’ on AI, even though no one's really sure what that something should be.”
“And there's no real agreement on what all these AI regulations are supposed to do, or what the risks are, so they're just making things up.”
“So you've got 50 different states each with their own reporting regime, which is going to be a trap for startups because they've all gotta figure this out about what they're supposed to report on, what the deadlines are, who to report to.”
“And if you wanna see where this is going, look at Colorado.”
“This has already been passed into law, SB 24-205, Consumer Protections for Artificial Intelligence. It bans something they call ‘algorithmic discrimination.’”
“Algorithmic discrimination is defined as unlawful differential treatment or disparate impact based on protected characteristics. So things like age, race, sex, disability.”
“If any of those factors drive an AI decision and it results in a disparate impact, then both the developer of the AI model and the deployer, which means the business that's using it, can be in violation of this law and they can be prosecuted by the Colorado Attorney General.”
“The only way that I see for model developers to comply with this law, is to build in a new DEI layer into the models, to basically somehow prevent models from giving outputs that might have a disparate impact on protected groups.”
“So we're back to Woke AI again, and I think that's the whole point.”
