Bill overview
The INFORM Act seeks to increase access to independent information for Chinese citizens by establishing an interagency task force and developing a strategy to counter the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) extensive digital censorship system. It aims to bolster censorship circumvention tools, secure content sharing, and Mandarin Chinese-language content creation. The bill also addresses the lack of reciprocity between the United States and the PRC in the information space and seeks to support PRC citizens’ efforts to advance their freedoms and hold the government accountable.
