The #MEMEAct (abbreviation for Making Essentials into Memes for Expression Act) is a legislative proposal in the U.S. that seeks to protect the fair use of copyrighted content when used in memes, parodies, or online commentary. Driven by advocates of digital freedom, the initiative responds to the increase in lawsuits and restrictions from rights holders over creatively reused content on the internet. Its aim is to ensure that users can continue to create and share memes without fear of legal repercussions, recognizing their cultural, satirical, and free expression value. It has not yet been approved.
