The Oklahoma House of Representatives approves legislation restricting online access to pornography for people under the age of 18.
The bill holds commercial entities accountable for knowingly distributing obscene material or material promoting child pornography on the internet. It mandates that such entities must compensate individuals for damages and provide mechanisms for subscribers to block access to harmful content. Additionally, entities employing reasonable age verification methods are exempt from liability.
The measure passed the House 79-13 yesterday and now moves to the governor's desk for consideration. If signed , the measure would take effect November 1st.
