I believe Congress wants online services to voluntarily undertake efforts to block or remove third party promotions for sex trafficking.

SESTA enables online services to be sued or prosecuted for sex trafficking promotions that third parties publish through their service.

I have worked as attorney general with my colleagues, and now General Becerra, trying to change this...

So what we're doing right now and what I understand is because the sex trafficking of our kids and adults is so prevalent, like any other criminal law enforcement activity that occurs, we are looking for the allowance of state law…

And this is an issue that we have to stop. We have to stop it.

And that's why as Attorney General, I signed onto a letter in 2013 to change the 230 CDA, and that's why I continue to support it.

Now, there is so much sex trafficking going on, and let me just tell you, this is a crime that is so prevalent.

I appreciate the opportunity to explain Section 230s Good Samaritan mechanisms and how SESTA undermines them.

I am hoping there is more conversation regarding this issue, and that we can figure this out.

I think there has to be some liability, obviously. Somebody has to be held accountable to make sure that we are preventing any type of forest fires.

I do not see how we can mandate a standard of strict liability when the utilities are prevented from being able to follow their management plan.

It is just the lack of gathering and collecting data over the past three years.

What is the timeframe, you think, for that?

Is that going to happen this budget cycle if you need resources?

Then putting a plan together to come up with any gap to address the changes that need to take place and any resources that need to be associated with it?

Is VA discontinuing support of the system going to impact you in any way whatsoever?

First of all, let me say thank you for what you have done to implement some of the recommendations.

I want to understand.

We must ensure that the needs of Native American communities are met.

My bill will ensure that the Federal Government provides the seed money for public-private partnerships to implement integrated transportation systems in cities and rural communities throughout the country.

I am really excited and interested in this space...

There has to be a balance that we find.

The last thing that--I can't speak for all of my colleagues, but I would imagine is that worker displacement.

I think for all of us, the challenge is going to be how we balance the emergence of this new technology...

So, Mr. Spear, let me start with you and make sure I understand what I'm hearing today, is that you would be comfortable if we passed Federal legislation that only went to a Level 2 authority.
