The proposed bill seeks to amend current statutes by introducing new provisions specifically aimed at protecting minors involved in video content creation. It would establish Article 6.2, which outlines the rights and responsibilities of content creators regarding minors. Key changes include requirements for compensating minors aged 13 and older for their contributions, maintaining records of their participation until they reach 21, and depositing gross earnings into a trust account until the minor turns 18. Additionally, the bill mandates that online platforms implement strategies to mitigate risks associated with monetizing content featuring minors and allows minors to take legal action if their rights are violated.
Furthermore, the bill would enhance legal protections against the sexual exploitation of minors in video content, making it illegal to profit from sexually explicit depictions of minors. It also includes provisions for the removal of a minor's identifiable information from video content upon request once they reach adulthood, ensuring that online hosting platforms facilitate this process. Overall, the bill aims to strengthen the rights of minors in the digital content landscape while holding content creators accountable for their responsibilities.
