The Senate Judiciary Committee passed a bill Thursday that holds tech companies accountable for not eliminating content that sexually exploits children, by taking away their legal protections from lawsuits.
The Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies (EARN IT) Act of 2020 passed by a vote of 22-0. The bipartisan legislation introduced by Chairman Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) pushes the tech industry to take online child sexual exploitation seriously.
