Today, Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel testified in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing examining big tech and the online child sexual exploitation crisis. During his opening remarks, Mr. Spiegel reaffirmed his support for the Cooper Davis Act (S. 1080), bipartisan legislation led by U.S. Senators Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-KS), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Todd Young (R-IN).
Named in honor of Kansas teen, Cooper Davis, who died from illicit fentanyl poisoning after a purchase made on social media, this legislation would require social media companies to take a more proactive role against drug dealers preying on America’s youth online.
