I run an adult dating service and the 2257 along with the Adam Walsh act have always been worrying me. I know that both of those laws claim that whether you're a primary or secondary producer - you must have IDs of all people that are on the picture. However, according to Section 230(c)(1) of the Communications Decency Act:

"No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected."

So, does that mean that any site that has members posting on there does not fall under the rules of 2257 and the Adam Walsh act? And if so - why did AFF just commit to about $10K of donations to FSC to fight the 2257?
