Social Media Accountability: Faster Law Enforcement Cooperation and Public Safety Reporting.

This Act mandates social media platforms to significantly improve cooperation with law enforcement agencies to combat illicit activities like drug trafficking and child exploitation. It requires platforms to establish 24/7 contact portals for police and publicly report metrics on how effectively they monitor and remove illegal content. This aims to increase online safety and hold tech companies accountable for addressing criminal activity on their sites.
Key points
Social media companies must create 24/7, US-based contact portals for law enforcement to speed up criminal investigations.
A new FTC Advisory Committee will set standards for platforms to publicly report data on removing illegal content, especially counterfeit substances and fentanyl.
Platforms must disclose their average response time to subpoenas and search warrants issued by law enforcement agencies.
