Bill overview
The PROTECT Act aims to combat the online distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and nonconsensual pornography by requiring online platforms to implement stricter verification measures. Specifically, it mandates that covered platforms verify the identity and age of both uploader and participants in images, and establish a mechanism for removing images without consent. The bill also introduces criminal and civil penalties for violations and seeks to hold platforms accountable for the content hosted on their sites.
