California AB1705 regulates pornographic internet websites by requiring operators to verify user consent and prohibiting non-consensual content.
California AB1705 mandates that operators of pornographic internet websites take reasonable steps to ensure that sexually explicit content does not include individuals who did not consent to being depicted. Users must submit a statement certifying that each depicted individual was not a minor at the time the content was created, consents to the content being uploaded, and consented to being depicted. Operators must verify this statement and retain it for at least seven years. Failure to obtain the statement results in a presumption of violation.
