Summary
The law forces commercial websites that let users create AI‑generated sexual material featuring recognizable people to verify users are at least 18 and to obtain consent from any real person whose likeness is used. It also sets penalties for failing to verify age, retaining personal data, or allowing minors to view such material, while shielding ISPs and similar providers from liability.
