HB 2889 introduces new regulations for internet platforms hosting pornographic content. It requires platforms to verify the identity and age of users posting such content and to obtain explicit written consent from individuals depicted in the images for each sex act shown. The bill mandates the removal of pornographic images within 72 hours upon request by eligible persons and sets procedures to prevent re-uploads of removed content. It also establishes civil penalties for non-compliance and allows aggrieved individuals to sue platform operators.

Additionally, the bill makes it a class 4 felony, punishable by a fine of up to $10,000, to knowingly publish intimate visual depictions without consent using an interactive computer service. Exceptions are provided for law enforcement, reporting unlawful activity, and legal proceedings. The Attorney General is directed to develop a consent form for the distribution of pornographic images, and the bill specifies the civil penalties and damages for violations by platform operators and users.
