Unconstrained Speech Regulation Authority

The Agency can issue binding directives and guidelines and make determinations "as the Agency finds just and equitable" without defined legal standards protecting speech. Combined with the bill's provisions on misinformation (29) and AI-generated content (22), this creates risk of content regulation based on subjective judgments rather than clear legal tests. Established democracies require specific statutory criteria (like "pressing social need" or "imminent lawless action") before restricting expression - the vague "just and equitable" standard fails this requirement and could enable viewpoint-based censorship disguised as technical regulation.
