Creates provisions relating to age verification on adult websites
This bill requires websites that host more than one-third of sexual content harmful to minors to implement age verification systems ensuring users are at least 18 years old. It mandates that any personal identifying information collected during verification must not be retained by the website or third-party verification services. The legislation exempts bona fide news organizations and protects internet service providers, search engines, and cloud services from liability for content they do not control. Enforcement is handled by the Attorney General, who can initiate legal action against violations and seek court-ordered relief.
