Summary
The Shielding Children's Retinas from Egregious Exposure on the Net (SCREEN Act) would require all commercial pornographic websites to adopt and operate applicable technology verification measures to ensure that a child cannot access its pornographic content. Platforms would have the option to contract a third party to comply with the provisions of this bill.
Additionally, the legislation establishes data security requirements and prohibits companies from collecting data beyond what is minimally necessary to verify a user’s age and from retraining information longer than is necessary to demonstrate compliance, among other things. Violations of section 4 of this bill would be enforced as an “unfair or deceptive act or practice” by the FTC.
