22 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find23 ings: 

24 (1) It is important that electronic communica25 tions service providers report the presence of child 


wwhite on PROD1PC61 with BILLS
7 

•S 3432 IS

1 pornography on the Internet to the CyberTipline at 

2 the National Center for Missing and Exploited Chil3 dren for the following reasons: 

4 (A) A substantial interstate market in 

5 child pornography exists, including not only a 

6 multimillion dollar industry, but also a nation7 wide network of individuals who openly adver8 tise their desire to exploit children and to traf9 fic in child pornography. Many of these individ10 uals distribute child pornography with the ex11 pectation of receiving other child pornography 

12 in return. 

13 (B) The interstate market in child pornog14 raphy is carried on to a substantial extent 

15 through the mails and other instrumentalities 

16 of interstate and foreign commerce, such as the 

17 Internet. The advent of the Internet has greatly 

18 increased the ease of transporting, distributing, 

19 receiving, and advertising child pornography in 

20 interstate commerce. The advent of digital cam21 eras, as well as videotape cameras, has greatly 

22 increased the ease of producing child pornog23 raphy. The advent of inexpensive computer 

24 equipment with the capacity to store large num25 bers of digital images of child pornography has 


wwhite on PROD1PC61 with BILLS
8 

•S 3432 IS

1 greatly increased the ease of possessing child 

2 pornography. Taken together, these techno3 logical advances have had the unfortunate re4 sult of greatly increasing the interstate market 

5 in child pornography. 

6 (C) The reporting of violations of the child 

7 pornography laws by electronic communications 

8 service providers to the CyberTipline at the Na9 tional Center for Missing and Exploited Chil10 dren, which in turn forwards such reports to 

11 law enforcement agencies designated by the At12 torney General, reduces both supply and de13 mand in the interstate market for child pornog14 raphy and enhances the prosecution of such 

15 offences. 

16 (2) It is important to require that warning la17 bels be placed on commercial websites that contain 

18 sexually explicit material for the following reasons: 

19 (A) The World Wide Web contains a sub20 stantial amount of sexually explicit content that 

21 is inappropriate for children to view. 

22 (B) Many such commercial websites may 

23 accidentally be visited by children or other indi24 viduals who do not wish to view sexually explicit 

25 content. 


wwhite on PROD1PC61 with BILLS
9 

•S 3432 IS

1 (C) The provision of information on each 

2 page of a commercial website that contains sex3 ually explicit material indicating that such ma4 terial is present will enable filtering software 

5 and other tools to identify websites to place on 

6 their list of websites to be blocked by the soft7 ware to more effectively protect children and 

8 other individuals from inadvertently viewing 

9 material that they do not wish to view. 

10 (D) Requiring websites to provide informa11 tion about the presence of sexually explicit ma12 terial on their ‘‘home page’’ will allow individ13 uals to make an individualized decision about 

14 whether to view such material and will protect 

15 such individuals from inadvertently being sub16 jected to such material. 

17 (3) It is important to prohibit the embedding of 

18 words or images on a website in order to deceive in19 dividuals into viewing obscenity or to deceive minors 

20 into viewing material harmful to minors for the fol21 lowing reasons: 

22 (A) Many websites containing sexually ex23 plicit material attempt to lure unsuspecting vic24 tims, primarily children, into visiting these sites 


wwhite on PROD1PC61 with BILLS
10 

•S 3432 IS

1 by embedding commonly used search terms or 

2 phrases within the source code of the website. 

3 (B) Luring unsuspecting victims to such 

4 commercial websites is a form of fraud that has 

5 substantial impact on interstate commerce. 

6 (C) Prohibiting the use of such misleading 

7 and deceptive words or images will serve to re8 duce the instance of such fraudulent activity. 

9 (b) STRENGTHENING SECTION 13032 OF TITLE 42 

10 TO ENSURE THAT CHILD PORNOGRAPHY IS EFFEC11 TIVELY REPORTED.—Section 227(b)(4) of the Victims of 

12 Child Abuse Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 13032(b)(4)) is 

13 amended to read as follows:
