Their headquarters are located in Los Angeles, but ICANN is no longer under the oversight of the U.S. Department of Commerce NTIA.

Yes, it appears to exclude paysites and includes tubes, filelockers, Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr and other UGC sites.

The 2 co-sponsors are 48 and 64.

Hotline: Hello, how may I help you?
Victim: My ex uploaded our private sex tape to your porn site.
Hotline: That appears to be a problem.
Victim: Yes, some of my friends and coworkers have seen it and it's humiliating. I'm really worried that my family could see it.
Hotline: What do you look like?
Victim: Well, let's see. I'm caucasian, 32 and 5' 4". I have long brown hair, brown eyes, b-cup boobs. Does that help?
Hotline: Not really. That could describe hundred of thousands of women on our site and there are 100,000+ hours of video footage hosted on our site. Could you describe yourself some more?
Victim: This is going nowhere. How are you going to help me?

This bill would include any civilians appearing in the background of videos shot in public places such as in many of the reality porn shoots, spectators at Public Disgrace or Party Hardcore who are clothed and not having sex and any non-performing production people who appear in videos.
