All bills dealing with age verification
Age verification mandate. Enforced by public or private right of action.
Highly non-standard age-verification bill targeted at adult websites.
Creates an exception to Section 230 immunity for information “harmful to minors” unless they “implement a system designed to effectively screen users who are minors from accessing such content, to the extent feasible using technology available at the time of such distribution.”
Age verification mandate enforced by private lawsuits.
This bill would require a commercial sexually explicit website to use an age verification method that prevents minors from accessing sexually explicit material. Nothing about the method is defined. Noncompliance would open websites to private lawsuits from the parent or legal guardian of a minor who accessed the sexually explicit material.
Last year’s Age-Appropriate Design Code Act included a provision to establish a Children’s Data Protection Working Group. This bill implements the working group.
Requires that anyone who posts content to a website that “contains a substantial portion of explicit sexual material” verify the age of that website’s users via government-issued identification.
