Requires large tech companies to quickly share user data for court orders, letting harmed individuals sue for delays.

Currently, there is no set deadline for large tech companies to hand over user data when ordered by a court. This bill would set a 72-hour deadline for companies with 1 million or more users to comply with court orders or warrants for information. It would also allow individuals who are harmed by delays to sue these companies for not meeting the deadline.

What Would Change

Today, there is no specific maximum time period for large providers of electronic communication or remote computing services to comply with court orders or warrants for information. After this bill, providers with 1,000,000 or more users would have a 72-hour deadline to disclose information, and individuals harmed by a provider's failure to meet this deadline could bring a civil lawsuit for relief and damages.

Key Provisions

Requires large tech companies to share user information within 72 hours of a court order or warrant.
