Senate Judiciary Committee Advances the EARN IT Act, Three Nominees to the Full Senate

Hearing

Date: May 4, 2023
Location: Washington
Issues: Judicial Branch

"The EARN IT Act is just the first piece of legislation that this Committee seeks to advance to hold Big Tech accountable for its role enabling the most egregious conduct on its platforms. The bill lays the framework for victims of sexual abuse material and exploitation to have their day in court, as well as imposes basic accountability on tech companies by removing blanket immunity.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

I said at the beginning of this Congress: this Committee will help protect kids' online safety. Our February hearing on children's online safety showed a real bipartisan willingness to act. This is bill is the first to advance to the full Senate from our Stopping the Exploitation of Kids Online legislative package, and we will keep working to protect our kids online."
