This proposal would change the Controlled Substances Act so that online communication and cloud service companies must tell the U.S. Attorney General when they find certain illegal drug activity on their services. The goal is to improve reporting of drug-law violations that happen online, so they can be addressed more quickly. It is also referred to as the Cooper Davis and Devin Norring Act.
