#MEMEAct Congress Proposes MEME Act to Protect Online Satire**

Lawmakers have introduced the **Memes Ensuring Meaningful Expression (MEME) Act**, aiming to safeguard internet humor from excessive copyright claims. The bill clarifies that parody and memes fall under fair use, protecting creators from takedowns.

Supporters argue memes are vital to online culture, while critics warn it could weaken intellectual property rights. The act follows high-profile cases where viral memes faced legal threats. If passed, it would reinforce free expression in digital spaces.

The proposal has gained bipartisan backing, signaling growing recognition of internet culture’s role in modern discourse.
