OpenCongress Summary
This bill and its House equivalent, H.R.1076, seek to increase penalties for processing Internet materials relating to child exploitation. More controversially, they would also require Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) to retain certain user records for a minimum of two years. While few protest restrictions on child pornography, privacy advocates have taken issue with this data retention requirement (see Sec.5).
