Digital Protections & Resources

• Renews, modernizes, and reinforces the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program.

• Ensures ICACs are better equipped to fight online child exploitation with updated tools and resources, rescuing children from abuse faster.

Raven’s Role: We are leading the charge in ensuring this Bill is renewed by securing bipartisan support while mitigating minimal concerns around funding.

Status: Introduced in House & Senate

• Senators John Cornyn (R), Josh Hawley (R), Marsha Blackburn (R), Chuck Grassley (R), Ashley Moody (R) Richard Blumenthal (D), Amy Klobuchar (D), Dick Durbin (D), Chris Coons (D), Mazie Hirono (D)

• Representatives Jeff Van Drew (R), Nathaniel Moran (R), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D), & Jared Moskowitz (D).

Faster, Stronger Reporting for Survivors

• Strengthens protections for children online by requiring tech companies to report suspected child sexual exploitation to the CyberTipline within 60 days and include key evidence like account details and messages.

• Holds companies accountable for failing to report and requires transparency about their safety policies and prevention tools.

• Expands privacy protections for victims and gives survivors a new pathway to seek justice through civil lawsuits

• Helps law enforcement rescue children sooner, and stop future abuse, with increased accountability.

Raven’s Role: Partnering with aligned non-profits to ensure this Bill passes through constant advocacy across Capitol Hill. Testified in Congress in support.

Status: Introduced in House & Senate

• Senators Josh Hawley (R) & Richard Durbin (D)

• Representatives Barry Moore (R) & Sylvia Garcia (D)

Accountability for AI-driven Abuse

Under existing law, prosecutors must prove an offender intended to distribute AI generated child sexual abuse material, making it harder to hold them accountable and resulting in low criminal sentences.

Enforce will:

• Close dangerous loopholes in current law and ensure predators who use AI or deepfake technology to create child sexual abuse images face the same penalties as those who exploit real children.

• Apply strict consequences

• Ensures obscene depictions of minors are handled in court with the same seriousness as CSAM.

Raven’s Role: This is original legislation drafted by Raven. We are advocating for its passage to hold all CSAM offenders equal under the law.

Status: Introduced in the House with anticipated Senate introduction in October

• Representatives Ann Wagner (R), Jeff Van Drew (R), and Steven Cohen (D)

• Senators John Cornyn (R) & Richard Blumenthal

Investigators are overwhelmed with massive amounts of digital evidence stored on thumb drives and local servers, slowing down victim identification and offender arrests and prosecution.

This Bill will:

• Allow law enforcement to store CSAM evidence using approved cloud vendors to expedite investigations into online abuse.

• Requires vendors to meet strict cybersecurity standards.

• Provide limited liability protections for vendors working with law enforcement to encourage secure partnerships.

Raven’s Role: This is original legislation drafted by Raven. We are advocating for its passage to reduce the cost of evidence storage and improve efficiency of investigations and victim identification.

Status: Senate sponsors confirmed with House sponsors in the pipeline. Introduction in October, 2025.

• Senators Marsha Blackburn (R) & Amy Klobuchar (D)

Raven’s Role: This will be Raven’s third piece of original legislation. It seeks to create a device-based age verification measure to ensure children are accessing age-appropriate content while providing parents and guardians a central hub to manage parental controls for all applications.

Status: In draft, seeking technical feedback.

Better Tech, Faster Rescues

Raven is leading the charge to bring federal resources directly to the frontlines of child protection. Raven is the only organization in the nation filing requests on behalf of Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Forces for Congressionally Directed (Senate) and Community Project (House) Funding. These applications ensure that law enforcement agencies can purchase the cutting-edge technology they need to accelerate investigations, process digital evidence at scale, and rescue children faster.

This year alone, Raven’s advocacy has resulted in $12 million in approved federal funding for 19 ICAC Task Forces nationwide — a landmark investment in child protection. These grants, pending the President’s signature into law, will empower investigators to close the gap between rising CyberTip reports and timely rescues, helping to keep children safe in an increasingly digital world.
