Senate Committee Unanimously Advances Bill to Stop Online Child Exploitation
Earlier this month, the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced a bi-partisan bill aimed at curbing online child exploitation by cracking down on the proliferation of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

Conservative Leaders to AG Barr: Big Tech’s Opposition to Free Speech Must End
CWA signed onto a letter to Attorney General Barr urging him to end the unfair treatment conservatives and conservative organizations face.
