President Donald J. Trump Signs H.R. 1865 into Law – Law and Order are being restored as President Trump signs Executive Orders to protect the lives and dignity of the American people, most specifically women and children who have become victims of sex and trafficking crimes.
President Trump signs H.R. 1865, “The Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017,” which makes it a Federal crime to own, manage, or operate a website with the intent to promote or facilitate prostitution.
The purpose behind this law is to make it easier for state prosecutors and sex-trafficking victims to sue social media networks, advertisers and others that kept exploitative material on their platforms, although victims would be required to show websites knowingly facilitated sex trafficking.
Law makers sharpen their scrutiny on technology companies, which have largely omitted regulation, for their use of privacy protections and consumer data. Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Facebook Inc, appeared in D.C. this past week with his entourage of security to testify before lawmakers.
