Mandatory Age Verification on Adult Content Sites to Protect Minors.
This bill requires online platforms that profit from content deemed "harmful to minors" (such as pornography) to implement strict technological age verification measures. The goal is to prevent minors from accessing this material entirely, as previous filtering methods proved ineffective. Adult users of these platforms will be required to undergo a verification process that goes beyond merely confirming their age.
Key points
Covered platforms must adopt advanced age verification technology within one year; simple self-declaration of age is insufficient for compliance.
The law mandates strong data security for the verification information collected and requires its timely deletion once no longer necessary for compliance.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is responsible for auditing platforms and enforcing compliance with these new rules.
