Mandatory Online Crime Reporting: Platforms Lose Immunity for Ignoring Threats.

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: Online platforms must report content that facilitates or promotes major crimes (terrorism, violence, serious drug offenses) to the Department of Justice. Failure to report known suspicious activity results in the platform losing its liability protection for that content. The Department of Justice will create a centralized online resource for the public to report suspicious criminal activity.

This Act requires interactive computer services (like social media platforms) to report suspicious content related to terrorism, serious drug offenses, and violent crimes to the Department of Justice. If a platform fails to report a known suspicious transmission, it loses its legal immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. This aims to enhance public safety by ensuring platforms actively cooperate with law enforcement.
