Bill > HR6429

This bill, the Shielding Children's Retinas from Egregious Exposure on the Net Act (SCREEN Act), requires certain interactive computer services that provide pornographic content to adopt and utilize technology verification measures to ensure that users of the platform are not minors. The bill defines key terms, such as "covered platform," "harmful to minors," and "technology verification measure," and outlines the specific requirements for these measures, including the use of age verification and prevention of minors' access to obscene, child pornographic, or age-inappropriate content. The bill also directs the Federal Trade Commission to conduct regular audits of covered platforms, issue guidance, and enforce the requirements, treating violations as unfair or deceptive acts or practices. Additionally, the bill requires a Government Accountability Office report on the effectiveness and impact of the implemented technology verification measures.
