Online Platforms Must Report Fentanyl and Methamphetamine Trafficking to DEA.

This law mandates electronic service providers (social media, email) to report to the DEA any unlawful sale, distribution, or manufacture of fentanyl, methamphetamine, or counterfeit drugs when they have actual knowledge of such crimes. The goal is to curb the online drug trade and enhance public safety. While providers must share account details, the law explicitly states they are not required to actively monitor user communications or search for violations.
Key points
Tech companies must report confirmed illegal activities involving fentanyl, methamphetamine, and counterfeit drugs to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Failure to report known violations can result in significant financial penalties for the service providers (up to $380,000).
Privacy safeguard: Providers are not required to actively monitor user content or communications to find violations.
Law enforcement officers are prohibited from submitting reports through this system themselves to initiate investigations.
