Reps. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) and Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) introduced legislation on Tuesday meant to halt the use of Department of Defense (DOD) computer networks by users for sharing or procuring pornographic images of children.
The End National Defense Network Abuse (END Network Abuse) was introduced in the wake of in[sic] an investigation called "Project Flicker" carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This investigation identified over 5,000 individuals, including many affiliated with DOD, who were subscribed to child porn websites.
The Pentagon's Defense Criminal Investigative Service subsequently identified hundreds of DOD-affiliated individuals as suspects involved in accessing child pornography, several of whom used government devices to view and share the images.
Why does this require a new law?

Oh yeah, we have this too.
Usually it's rich people because they can afford the lawyers, but being connected helps.
I am pretty sure another law won't change anything.

Sadly and cynically I think you're probably right. Well, it'll change some of the ways the games are played, but it won't change the big picture.
