The Rio Grande Foundation (RGF), known for its focus on New Mexico tax and economic policies, has also been actively involved in advocating for online free speech. In early 2021, RGF joined the Media Research Center’s "Free Speech Alliance" to address concerns about censorship by online media companies. The foundation expressed concern over the suppression of information related to topics such as the Hunter Biden laptop, gender ideology, and COVID-19.

Recently, a significant development occurred when Meta/Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced changes to the company's approach to content management. Zuckerberg's announcement came in response to various factors, including the election of Donald Trump and pressure from groups like the Free Speech Coalition and other conservative voices. The new strategy emphasizes a more free speech-oriented policy than previously implemented.

The Media Research Center (MRC) played a pivotal role in this initiative. MRC Founder L. Brent Bozell III and his team worked closely with policymakers and exerted public pressure on media companies like Meta/Facebook. The RGF expressed satisfaction with their support for the Coalition's efforts.
