Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) has introduced new legislation aimed at promoting internet freedom, in particular to counter internet censorship imposed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The bill, named the Free the Internet around the Globe to Hack Tyranny and Censorship Act (FIGHT Censorship Act), would establish a clear U.S. policy on internet freedom. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), a branch of the U.S. Department of Commerce, would be required to communicate this U.S. policy around the world.
