AB 392: Pornographic internet websites: consent.

A new law would require internet website operators to ensure that sexually explicit content does not include minors. Users would need to certify that any individual depicted in the content was not a minor at the time it was created and that they consented to being depicted. The operator would also need to verify the user's email address before uploading the content. Those who knowingly provide false information in the certification would be punishable by a fine. A depicted individual and a public prosecutor could bring a civil action to enforce the law. The state would not be required to reimburse local agencies or school districts for the costs of implementing this law.
