Dear Friend, Help Support the EARN IT ACT—our best option to protect kids online! The EARN IT Act (Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies Act) is the strongest piece of legislation that can confront the explosion of online child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The legislation: - Removes immunity for social media and technology companies that knowingly facilitate the distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM)
- Gives victims a path to justice and possibility of restoring their privacy through litigation
- Updates existing federal statutes to replace “child pornography” with the more accurate term “child sexual abuse material” (CSAM)
- Establishes a commission of survivors, technology reps, privacy and civil rights experts, and other stakeholders to recommend best practices for tech companies to respond to the astronomical increase in online sexual exploitation of children
Technology companies—including platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and more—currently have blanket legal immunity although their platforms circulate CSAM, all while destroying victims lives. EARN IT will provide the necessary incentive for Big Tech to protect kids online. |
