Today U.S. Representatives Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH), Annie Kuster (D-NH), Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) and Lucy McBath (D-GA) with U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) introduced H.R. 5376, the Eliminate Network Distribution of Child Exploitation Act, or END Child Exploitation Act, to extend the period of time that technology companies are required to preserve information about child sexual abuse images they report to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). This legislative move would address an important policy flaw highlighted in the September New York Times report.
