WASHINGTON - Sens. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) on Wednesday introduced a new bill aimed at curtailing minors' access to sexually explicit content online.
The Cyber Safety for Kids Act of 2007 would require all adult websites to incorporate secure login mechanisms that include age verification, "clean" homepages, and some sort of electronic flag to facilitate filtering. The U.S. Department of Commerce's National Telecommunication & Information Administration would oversee enforcement of the act, and failure to comply could be punished by fines or the removal of offending websites from cyberspace.
