For each suspicious post, services must submit a Suspicious Transmission Activity Report (STAR) within 30 days, providing the user's name, location, and other identifying information, as well as any relevant metadata.

Those submitting the user surveillance reports would henceforth be barred from talking about or even acknowledging the existence of them. STARs would also be exempt from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

This bullshit bill sponsored by Manchin (D-WV) and Cornyn (R-TX) would create the equivalent of the suspicious activity reports, but for online posts. This is some absolute, unconstitutional bullshit that appears to have bipartisan support.
