  • Internet censorship in the United States is the suppression of information published or viewed on the Internet in the United States. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects freedom of speech and expression against federal, state, and local government censorship. In 2014, the United States was added to Reporters Without Borders (RWB)'s list of "Enemies of the Internet", a group of countries with the highest level of Internet censorship and surveillance. RWB stated that the U.S. has "undermined confidence in the Internet and its own standards of security" and that "U.S. surveillance practices and decryption activities are a direct threat to investigative journalists, especially those who work with sensitive sources for whom confidentiality is paramount and who are already under pressure." In U.S. government-funded Freedom House's Freedom On the Net 2021 Report, the United States was rated the thirteenth most free of the 70 countries rated. It was revealed in 2022 by The Intercept that the United States government participated in internet censorship by pressuring private companies to remove content on their behalf, with websites like facebook even providing a special portal for government agents to do so.
