Provide greater privacy and data security protections and give parents more tools to keep kids safe online.
Occurrences
Evidence
“The Child Exploitation & Artificial Intelligence Expert Commission, created by this legislation, would bring together the foremost experts in the field to develop tools to effectively prevent, detect, and prosecute child exploitation crimes.” The release describes H.R. 8005 as a commission to develop a legal framework to assist law enforcement in preventing, detecting, and prosecuting AI-generated crimes against children.
The bill text includes requirements involving parents and minors with demonstrated experience regarding safety of minors online, provisions for information provided to a parent of a minor user, and “verifiable parental consent” under COPPA-related language.
The bill requires covered platforms to provide safeguards to minors, including protections for minors’ data, tools for parents such as access to minors’ privacy settings, and mechanisms to report harm to minors on the platform.
The release says the legislation would establish a commission to develop a legal framework to help law enforcement prevent, detect, and prosecute child exploitation crimes.
Assessments
Evidence shows Langworthy took concrete legislative action related to kids' online safety, especially through H.R. 8005 addressing AI-generated child exploitation and law-enforcement tools. Later-term bill text also aligns with the promise's parental tools, privacy, and minors' data-protection themes. However, the record provided does not show enactment of a measure delivering the full promised package of greater privacy and data security protections plus parental tools to keep kids safe online, nor does it clearly show Langworthy personally secured final passage of those broader reforms. That supports partial credit for meaningful effort and issue advancement, but not full delivery.
