S.5054 - A bill to prevent the uploading of pornographic images to online platforms without the consent of the individuals in the images.

Currently Senators are pushing something called the SISEA bill which targets to prevent NSFW from being uploaded without consent.
This sounds Great in practice, but this means that NSFW Furry Art and any form of drawing or computer created content would become Illegal to what I understand.

Quoted Directly From @ acvalens on twitter:

1) The bill targets any online platform that "hosts and makes available to the general public" porn. This essentially ranges from OnlyFans to Twitter
2) The bill demands sites with porn institute strenuous verification and content moderation systems, such as a 24-hour platform hotline with a two-hour window to pull reported material. These strains will likely cause Twitter, OnlyFans, etc to dump porn over institute changes
3) Websites that violate these requests violate the Federal Trade Commission Act's "unfair or deceptive act or practice" rules. TLDR, this can lead to a settlement negotiation or a cease and desist order, which can result in civil penalties if violated.
4) Again: This creates a situation where legal liability and the cost involved in creating (borderline impossible) enforcement structures are so strenuous that most social media websites will simply remove NSFW content as opposed to micromanage it
5) A "covered platform" "hosts and makes available to the general public pornographic images," which are defined as "any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, picture, or computer or computer-generated image or picture" with sexually explicit conduct

I'm particularly hung up on how drawings applies to the "Without Consent" part. They're drawings.
The bill is vague and I feel that it's important to acknowledge it.

If you are interested in helping to prevent this, you can contact your state senator and give them a reason why they should be against this.

Call/write and state this bill will:

- Impact a marginalized constituency deeply economically impacted by the pandemic
- Harm your freedom of speech
- Is deeply important to you as a constituent. Your vote counts highly on your senator making the right decision here.

If anything else please spread the word about this bill.

Sorry is this was political.
