An Act preventing rampant online technological exploitation and criminal trafficking

This bill establishes Chapter 93M in Massachusetts law to protect minors from online sexual exploitation. It requires operators of pornographic websites to verify users' ages (using commercial databases or other reasonable methods) before allowing access to explicit content and to obtain signed statements confirming all depicted individuals are 18+ and consented to the content. Violations could result in civil liability for damages and legal costs. The law directly affects operators of commercial pornographic websites that host sexually explicit content exceeding one-third of their annual material.
