Wyoming's GRANITE Act: Defending Free Speech Against Censorship
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 1 hour ago
Wyoming has made a bold proclamation in the fight for free speech by introducing the GRANITE Act, an unprecedented piece of legislation aiming to protect Americans from foreign censorship.
Crafted to shield individuals and businesses from international attempts to stifle their rights, the bill empowers residents of Wyoming to pursue legal action against foreign governments that attempt to enforce censorship on their speech.
Representative Daniel Singh, the bill's driving force, emphasized the necessity of protecting American citizens from foreign bureaucratic overreach.
“Foreign governments have decided they can threaten American citizens and American companies for speech that is protected by our Constitution,” Singh stated. “Wyoming is drawing a line in the sand.”
The GROANITE Act sets forth significant penalties for any entity that tries to impose foreign censorship, including a minimum of $1 million in damages for each violation.
Moreover, it aims to make Wyoming a sanctuary for free expression and digital innovation, encouraging tech companies to establish their operations in the state to benefit from these robust protections.
The bill explicitly prohibits any Wyoming court from recognizing or enforcing foreign censorship judgments, effectively turning the state into a fortress of First Amendment rights.
This initiative comes at a time when citizens are increasingly concerned about efforts by foreign entities to dictate what can and cannot be said online.
Recent instances highlight this alarming trend, with foreign governments exerting pressure on American platforms, threatening lawsuits and fines for hosting content that doesn’t align with their ideologies.
By endorsing the GRANITE Act, Wyoming positions itself as a leader in the fight against this troubling infringement on free speech.
It's a powerful message that asserts the First Amendment should not be undermined by international pressure.
As this legislation progresses, similar measures may gain traction in other states, reflecting a growing desire among Americans to reclaim their right to speak freely without the fear of foreign retaliation.
With potential discussions surrounding a federal version of the GRANITE Act already taking place, Wyoming’s courageous stand could pave the way for a more substantial national movement in defense of free expression.
In a time when too many seem willing to compromise on constitutional freedoms, Wyoming's bill serves as a reaffirmation that the right to speak—protected by the Constitution—truly knows no borders.
