Bill Summary
A BILL To modernize online child protection laws.
AI Summary
This bill aims to modernize online child protection laws by making several key changes:
1. It expands the information that must be included in reports made to the CyberTipline, requiring providers to include more details about the identity and location of involved minors and individuals.
2. It extends the required preservation period for reports made to the CyberTipline from 90 days to 1 year, and allows providers to voluntarily preserve the content for longer to help reduce the proliferation of online child sexual exploitation.
3. It replaces the term "child pornography" with "child sexual abuse material" throughout various federal laws and regulations to better reflect the nature of the content.
4. It makes technical and conforming amendments to ensure consistency in the use of the updated terminology.
The bill aims to strengthen the legal framework for combating the online sexual exploitation of children by enhancing the information reported to the CyberTipline and aligning the terminology used in laws and regulations with the understanding that this content constitutes abuse, not just pornography.
