Bill Analysis

The DETERRENT Act (HR 1048) aims to enhance the United States’ response to the growing threat of digital and online harassment, particularly targeting individuals in vulnerable communities. The bill seeks to establish a comprehensive framework for addressing and mitigating the impacts of such harassment through various means.

Key provisions of the DETERRENT Act include the establishment of a federal grant program to support state and local initiatives aimed at preventing online harassment and providing resources for victims. The bill authorizes funding for educational programs that promote digital literacy and safe online practices, particularly among youth and marginalized groups. It also mandates the creation of a national public awareness campaign to inform individuals about their rights and available resources for reporting online harassment.

The bill designates the Department of Education and the Department of Justice as the primary agencies responsible for implementing its provisions, with a focus on collaboration with local law enforcement and community organizations. This coordinated approach aims to ensure that victims receive comprehensive support, including legal assistance and mental health services.

Beneficiaries of the DETERRENT Act include individuals who experience online harassment, particularly women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people of color, who are disproportionately affected by such incidents. The bill also seeks to empower educational institutions to foster safer online environments for students.

The DETERRENT Act is currently under consideration in the Senate, having been received and read twice before being referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. The timeline for further action remains uncertain, but the bill reflects a growing recognition of the need for federal intervention in addressing online harassment and protecting vulnerable populations.
