END Child Exploitation Act
The END Child Exploitation Act extends the required preservation period for reports of online child sexual exploitation submitted to the CyberTipline from 90 days to one year. It also allows the organizations submitting these reports (such as internet service providers) to voluntarily keep report contents - including any mixed content - for longer than one year to help prevent further exploitation. This directly affects companies and groups that use the CyberTipline to report child exploitation incidents. The key change is lengthening the mandatory retention period and enabling extended voluntary preservation to support law enforcement efforts.
