Commercial entities whose regular business involves creating, hosting, or making available obscene material on the internet ("covered platforms") must perform reasonable age verification before allowing access to such content

Acceptable age verification methods include government-issued identification, financial documents that serve as reliable proxies for age, or other commercially reasonable methods, which may be performed by third parties using privacy-preserving techniques like zero knowledge proofs

Covered platforms and third-party verifiers are prohibited from retaining an individual's identifying information after completing age verification or from selling, distributing, or disseminating that information

The Attorney General has sole authority to bring civil actions for violations, with penalties up to $10,000 per violation; violations of an injunction issued under this law carry penalties up to $100,000

Internet service providers, cloud services, search engines, telecommunications services, and cable services are not liable solely for providing access or connection to covered platforms or obscene material on networks outside their control
