It is hard to imagine that the Congress that crafted this protection intended it to operate as a shield against liability for the kind of horrific acts that are the target of your legislation.

I am writing to express the strong support of The Walt Disney Company for S. 1693, the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act of 2017 (SESTA).
