Prevents uploading pornographic images without consent and mandates age verification for users.

The PROTECT Act of 2026 aims to prevent the distribution of intimate visual depictions without consent. It requires users to obtain explicit written consent from individuals appearing in pornographic images before uploading them to covered platforms. Covered platforms must verify the identity and age of users, ensuring they are at least 18 years old. The Attorney General will create and approve consent forms, which must include specific details about the consent and the individual's identification.
