Bill > S962

This bill, known as the "Protecting Children Over Profits Act," amends Title 18 of the United States Code to prohibit providers of electronic communication services (ECS) or remote computing services (RCS) from receiving reimbursement or compensation for information related to child exploitation. Specifically, the bill modifies three sections of the law to prevent these service providers from being paid for expenses, facilities, or technical assistance when sharing information about child exploitation cases. The bill references the definition of child exploitation from the PROTECT Our Children Act of 2008, ensuring a consistent legal standard. By removing potential financial incentives, the bill aims to encourage service providers to cooperate fully with law enforcement in investigations involving child exploitation without expecting monetary compensation. The changes apply to various legal contexts, including telephone records, electronic communications surveillance, and other technical assistance provisions, ultimately prioritizing child protection over potential profit motives for service providers.
