This bill directs the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of State to address the use of online platforms by transnational criminal organizations. Within 180 days, these agencies must submit a joint assessment detailing how such organizations use social media platforms , messaging services, and other online communication tools for recruitment within the United States and to conduct various illicit activities , including drug trafficking, human smuggling, and cybercrime. This assessment will also cover existing government efforts to counter these threats. Following the assessment, the agencies are required to develop a comprehensive "National Strategy to Combat Illicit Recruitment Activity by Transnational Criminal Organizations on Social Media and Online Platforms" within one year. This strategy will focus on improving interagency cooperation, facilitating voluntary reporting of recruitment efforts, enhancing intelligence analysis, and fostering international partnerships. It also mandates specific outreach to youth in border communities and emphasizes robust protections for privacy rights, civil rights, and civil liberties , particularly for minors. The bill requires regular reports on the strategy's implementation and a dedicated assessment of its impact on civil rights and privacy, while clarifying that it does not expand existing agency authority and authorizes no additional funds.
