Read on Twitter
A whole bunch of this is just . . . not even possible. https://twitter.com/MelodyKush/status/1340106469547585537
This might as well say "Any site hosting adult material must not allow its users to view adult material."
If you didn't know: once you're already at the point that you're watching a given video, it's out of the host's hands whether or not you choose to save that video.
This shit already doesn't work on YouTube.
This just means people are going to edit the clips slightly before they upload.

Looking forward to having to give PornHub my SSN so they'll take down those embarrassing feet pics my ex keeps uploading.
I'm really struggling on how they think this one's gonna work.
Like, okay. Everyone in the video has to have signed a consent form, but we also have to make sure no one in the video has previously dissented, so . . . we're creating a federal porn star registry? Is that it?

Like, IDK. I'm down with the concept of trying to combat trafficking and revenge porn, but this sounds to me like they're legislating without consulting sex workers, trafficking victims, or anyone who's ever so much as been in the same room as a router.
Okay, I wanted to actually read it. You can find it here: https://www.sasse.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/54e9d1de-7b2f-4bba-a6cf-79081e0c9ff0/oll20b20.pdf
This one's bizarre to me because it's so easy to fake an electronic signature. AFAIK, there aren't any, like, legal standards for what counts and what doesn't. You could just type someone's name into MS Word and be done with it.
Like, part of the point of a physical signature is that you can theoretically compare it to the supposed author's handwriting if need be.
Electronic ones don't really work that way. They can be signed with a tablet or a touchscreen, but they can be signed with a keyboard, too.

Again, I don't know how this works. You have 14 days to make sure every single picture or video on your site has the requisite consent forms?
Sounds to me more like all user-uploaded porn submitted before the Effective Date will get scrubbed, then.

Okay, here's the actual text on the downloads part.
This is literally impossible. Trust me, I make websites for a living, this is impossible.
You cannot display an image in someone's web browser in a way that will make it impossible to recreate.

A website is not like a window into a building where you can allow someone to see without touching.
In order to display the images and video in question, you need to SEND THEM COPIES to begin with.
They already have their own local versions of that data. It's already downloaded

One other thing I'd like to add is that I can't see a way for a site like Twitter to
A) Allow porn
while
B) Allowing not-porn
A) Allow porn
while
B) Allowing not-porn
Every single pornographic image or video would need to be checked against two separate Porn Registries (one for the porn, itself, the other for the participants), which means every single non-pornographic image or video would need to be checked.
Unless there's a way for an algorithm to differentiate between porn and not-porn, every image that gets posted would have to be checked.
Or Twitter would have to go the way of Tumblr.

What if someone definitely consented to filming and upload, but they died before this went into effect and, therefore, couldn't sign a waver?
