EO 14149 Jan 20, 2025 TIER 2MID-LEVEL FREEZE

Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship

Theater score 24/100

Detector flags: restores a thing that arguably never left; ends a thing by announcing the end of it.

Immediate Impact

Declares federal censorship over and instructs agencies not to do it. Whether anyone was doing it is a matter the order settles by asserting.

Freezable on day one; the underlying directives take a few months of agency housekeeping to replace.
