MS SB2472

Prohibits manufacturing, selling, leasing, or distributing internet-accessible devices without digital-blocking capability to render obscene material inaccessible to minors.

Requires manufacturers and distributors to maintain reporting mechanisms for unblocked obscene material, block child pornography and revenge pornography, prevent access to prostitution hubs and human trafficking websites, and ensure blocking capability functions properly.

Allows consumers to disable digital-blocking capability after verifying age (18+), acknowledging written warnings, and paying a one-time $20.00 fee; alternatively, manufacturers may pay a $20.00 opt-out fee per device entering the state.

Directs collected fees to the State Treasurer quarterly: 60% to Mississippi Crime Victims' Compensation Fund, 20% to Department of Public Safety for grants to agencies serving human trafficking and child exploitation victims, and 20% to State General Fund.

Establishes civil penalties of $1,000 for first offense, $2,000 for second offense, and $50,000 for each subsequent offense; allows consumers and the Attorney General to sue for up to $500 per piece of reported but unblocked obscene content.
