The Justice Department proposal is a legislative plan that would have to be adopted by Congress.
Google, Facebook, Twitter, and others most definitely censor conservative content, sometimes at the behest of far-left foreign entities.

The problem there is, the DOJ just can’t file a lawsuit as they don’t have “standing”. What they Can do is “join” a lawsuit.
