S.__ / H.R.__ · 119th Congress
EARN IT Act (2025)
🇺🇸 United States — Senate & House
Urgent
Reintroduced perennially since 2020, the EARN IT Act would remove Section 230 liability protections for platforms that don't follow government-mandated content scanning requirements. Critics warn this creates a legal compulsion to scan all user content — threatening end-to-end encryption and enabling sweeping censorship of adult material.
Impact for Creators
Platforms could be forced to pre-scan and remove adult content to avoid liability. Even legal, consensual content would be caught in automated over-removal. FOSTA-SESTA 2.0 in effect.

S.__ / H.R.__ · 119th Congress
Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA)
🇺🇸 United States — Senate
Urgent
KOSA would require platforms to disable algorithmic recommendations for minors and impose a "duty of care" — but the vague language effectively compels platforms to restrict any content that could be deemed harmful to minors, giving state AGs broad power to target LGBT and adult content.
Impact for Creators
Platforms would face massive liability pressure to remove adult and queer content preemptively. Creators could see mass account terminations as platforms over-comply. ACLU and EFF both oppose this version.

Multiple States · 2022–2025
State Age Verification Laws
🇺🇸 United States — 20+ States
Active Law
Texas (HB 1181), Louisiana, Arkansas, Montana, Utah and 15+ other states have passed laws requiring adult sites to verify user ages. The Supreme Court heard Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton in Jan 2025 — a ruling is expected mid-2025 that will determine whether these laws are constitutional.
Impact for Creators
Several major platforms (Pornhub, etc.) have geo-blocked entire states rather than comply. If SCOTUS upholds Texas's law, a federal model may follow — affecting where you can distribute content.

Advocacy · Ongoing
FOSTA-SESTA Reform Push
🇺🇸 United States — Federal
Watch
FOSTA-SESTA (2018) removed platform liability protections for sex work-related content. A bipartisan review and multiple advocacy reports since 2022 document its harms to worker safety. Reform advocates are pushing for amendment or repeal — no bill has passed yet but pressure is building.
Impact for Creators
Reform could restore safety tools and reduce over-censorship. Current law makes platforms ban anything that could be construed as solicitation — including harm reduction and consensual adult content.

Ofcom Codes · 2024–2026 Rollout
Online Safety Act — Implementation
🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Active Law
The UK's Online Safety Act passed in 2023. Ofcom is now issuing secondary Codes of Practice — including age verification requirements for pornography sites, illegal content duties, and user empowerment tools. Compliance deadlines begin rolling out in 2025–26.
Impact for Creators
UK-based platforms and those with UK users must implement age verification. BBFC-style AV gatekeeping could block foreign creators from UK audiences. Platforms may over-restrict to comply.

Regulation (EU) 2022/2065
EU Digital Services Act (DSA)
🇪🇺 European Union
Active Law
The DSA requires platforms to give users meaningful appeals rights for content removal, publish transparency reports, and allow users to opt out of algorithmic recommendations. Very large platforms (100m+ EU users) face additional auditing obligations. Mostly creator-positive.
Impact for Creators
EU-based creators gain new appeal rights when content is removed. Platforms must explain removals more clearly. Algorithmic opt-out could reduce visibility but gives creators more control.

Nordic Model Expansion Watch
🌍 Global — Canada, Australia, EU States
Watch
The "Nordic Model" criminalises buying but not selling sex. Canada adopted it in 2014. Several EU states and Australian territories are considering expansion. Advocates argue it harms workers by reducing their ability to screen clients and negotiate safety. New Zealand's decrim model is consistently cited as safer by worker-led research.
Impact for Creators
If your country adopts this model, content depicting paid sex could be interpreted as advertising a criminal service. Cam work and explicit subscription content occupy a grey area in Nordic Model jurisdictions.

Pub.L. 115–164 · Signed 2018
FOSTA-SESTA
🇺🇸 United States — Federal Law
Current Law
Amended Section 230 to allow platforms to be held liable for third-party content that facilitates sex trafficking. In practice, platforms mass-removed safety resources, client screening tools, and adult advertising — pushing workers to less safe settings. ACLU has documented ongoing harm since passage.
Impact for Creators
Directly caused OnlyFans to briefly ban explicit content in 2021, forced payment processors to restrict adult platforms, and led to mass deplatforming. Still the most impactful US law on the industry.
