This is great news is yet another victory for children and families as it represents another protective measure. As you may recall, FOSTA ("Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act,”) which amended the Communications Decency Act (CDA), fulfilled a promise by then-candidate Trump, who in 2016 signed Enough Is Enough®’s Children’s Internet Safety Presidential Pledge promising to advance public policies and provide law enforcement with the resources and tools needed to investigate and prosecute Internet crimes involving the sexual exploitation of children.
These victories are WINS for trafficking survivors. Yet, as the Pledge points out, we still need to also ensure our Department of Justice is committed to aggressively enforcing all laws protecting victims of sex crimes including federal obscenity laws, child pornography laws, and sexual predation laws. So we're calling on our faithful advocates and supporters once again tostep up to the plate in the name of defending dignity in the digital world.
