Evidence

The draft’s table of contents adds a "Subtitle E—Free Speech" and "Sec. 141. Preventing Censorship and Protecting Free Speech." The section directs a Commerce Department study of federal interactions with AI platforms over content moderation or limiting expression, and asks for legislation that would give people redress against unlawful government censorship.

Obernolte took a concrete step toward the promise by releasing a draft AI bill that explicitly targets censorship and free-speech concerns in AI, but it remains only a discussion draft rather than enacted law.

partial same_term

Obernolte took a concrete in-office step toward the promise by releasing a 2026 discussion draft of the Great American AI Act that explicitly included a free-speech section aimed at preventing censorship in AI-related content moderation. But the evidence shows only a discussion draft and proposed study/redress framework, not an enacted law or implemented policy that actually delivered the promised protection. Under federal candidate-credit standards, that supports partial credit in the same term rather than full delivery.
