Bill > H3818

This bill aims to prevent rampant online technological exploitation and criminal trafficking. It establishes new requirements for "covered platforms" (interactive computer services that host or make pornographic images available to the public) to verify the identity, age, and consent of users and individuals depicted in pornographic images before allowing such content to be uploaded. The bill also creates civil penalties for covered platform operators who violate these requirements, allows individuals to request the removal of non-consensual pornographic images, and establishes a special legislative commission to examine sentencing for criminal online technological exploitation. Additionally, the bill criminalizes the non-consensual publication of intimate visual depictions through interactive computer services.
