"In almost every aspect of the real world, child safety is a top priority. But in the virtual world, criminals and bullies don't need to pick a lock or wait outside the playground to cause harm. They can harass, intimidate, addict, or sexually exploit our kids without anyone leaving home. The system is failing our children and we, as lawmakers, need to address this head-on. I'm pleased that my Judiciary Committee colleagues unanimously supported the STOP CSAM Act in Committee today. The legislation is a comprehensive approach to close gaps in the law and crack down on the proliferation of child sex abuse material online. I look forward to continue to work with my colleagues on this effort."
