Sen. Mike Lee reintroduced the Shielding Children's Retinas from Egregious Exposure on the Net (SCREEN) Act to require commercial pornographic websites to adopt age verification technology.
The bill, called the Shielding Children's Retinas from Egregious Exposure on the Net (SCREEN) Act, directs the FCC to create a rule ensuring these websites adopt such technology, establishing a "more likely than not" standard for verification. Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
It allows sites to choose their verification method, provided it meets FCC standards and prevents minors from accessing such content. Additionally, the bill instructs that the FCC must oversee compliance, allowing third-party verification providers and ensuring no identifiable user data is shared with the government.
