Indiana Republican senator moves to block kids from accessing porn online
June 10, 2026
EXCLUSIVE – Republican lawmakers are pushing to require pornography websites to verify users' ages, arguing that children can access explicit material online "with just a few clicks" and that parents need stronger tools to keep minors off commercial porn platforms.
Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., introduced the Safety and Age Filtering Enforcement (SAFE) for Kids Act on Tuesday, legislation that would require pornography websites to implement age-verificationmeasures before users can access sexually explicit content.
