“Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Sen. Burr, R-N.C. — eager to do something about ISIS’ social media prowess, whether or not it actually makes sense — have reintroduced a previously rejected provision that would force technology companies to report to the government any instances of ‘terrorist activity’ that they notice online. The measure was stripped out of the 2016 intelligence authorization bill in late September; now it’s being proposed as standalone legislation. The proposed bill is ‘modeled on existing law requiring companies to report child pornography,’ according to a press release sent out by Feinstein’s and Burr’s offices.”
