JAWBONE Act reportedly clears Senate Commerce Committee with bipartisan support

The JAWBONE Act advanced from the Senate Commerce Committee with bipartisan support, according to a supporter’s September 16 post. Sharing a statement from the bill’s introduction, the supporter argued that the First Amendment bars government coercion of social media and AI companies to suppress what users say or hear. The statement said the bill would expose that pressure and give censored Americans a path to remedies.
