Promise Details

Trump made frequent pledges to end what he called “Big Tech censorship” and “digital tyranny.” His plan under Agenda 47 proposed repealing Section 230, prohibiting federal agencies from cooperating with social-media moderation, and enforcing penalties for deplatforming users based on political views. He framed it as a First Amendment crusade to “restore free speech in America.” However, Congress has not passed any repeal or replacement for Section 230, and major platforms still moderate content independently. Critics argue the administration took few practical steps beyond executive rhetoric and selective enforcement. By 2025, online moderation remains unchanged, and free-speech issues persist, making this promise effectively broken.
