The bill that would let Jimmy Kimmel sue Brendan Carr is here
The Verge·June 11, 2026
The JAWBONE Act, a bipartisan bill introduced by Senators Ted Cruz and Ron Wyden, would allow Americans to sue government officials for damages if they attempt to coerce social media, AI, or broadcasting companies into removing posts. This legislation would also establish new transparency requirements for government communications with these companies. The bill could potentially enable individuals, such as Jimmy Kimmel, to take legal action against government officials like Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr. If passed, the JAWBONE Act would provide individuals with greater protection against government overreach and censorship.
