The Safe Cloud Storage Act limits liability for vendors storing child pornography and obscenity for law enforcement.
The Safe Cloud Storage Act aims to modernize law enforcement's ability to store child pornography and child obscenity while limiting liability for approved vendors. It requires approved vendors to ensure that such materials remain in the United States unless a covered agency deems a transfer necessary for investigative purposes. Vendors must also undergo annual cybersecurity audits and employ end-to-end encryption. The act limits civil and criminal liability for approved vendors, except in cases of intentional misconduct, negligent conduct, or actual malice.
