WASHINGTON – Today, as part of a comprehensive package of discussion draft bills released in the Energy and Commerce Committee, Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. (R-Ind.) unveiled a bill to require companies to implement reasonable content moderation practices to address cyberbullying. 

“As a father of four, I know just how important it is to keep our children safe from cyberbullying.
