Requires websites with harmful content to verify users are adults to protect minors.
This bill would make certain websites that regularly offer content harmful to minors use technology to verify users are adults. This technology would ensure it's more likely than not that users are not minors. This aims to protect children from online pornography, which current filters often miss, with an estimated 80% of minors exposed. These websites would need to verify ages and keep that data secure, facing audits from the Federal Trade Commission.
Today, many minors can easily access online content that is harmful to them, with an estimated 80% exposed. If this bill passes, certain websites would be required to use technology to verify users' ages, preventing minors from seeing such content. This would add a new layer of protection for children online, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission.
