Wyden, Eshoo, Lesko Refile Bill Targeting Online-Related Domestic Abuse

Bipartisan, bicameral legislation reintroduced Thursday would direct DOJ to launch tech-focused programs to combat social media-related domestic abuse (see 2212150077). Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Reps. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., and Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., reintroduced the Tech Safety for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking Act. DOJ’s pilot program would provide $2 million in grants for “clinics and other partnerships focused on addressing domestic violence and technology-enabled abuse.”
