In April, Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) introduced a slightly broader bill in the House which now has 101 co-sponsors. In addition to amending the Communications Decency Act, it also seeks to amend the federal criminal code to say that any website provider who publishes information from anyone, “with reckless disregard that the information … is in furtherance of” sex trafficking of a person under 18 “shall be fined … or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.” THIS is much harsher. It includes fines or jail time. This is the one to ROOT for.
Thanks! She is from Mo. They have Missing Children. Many from one town. I submitted a post on it. Whoever is from MO. please contact her. Send her an email.

Maybe link your previous post here for background? I don't remember seeing it but sounds like a great lead.
