Probably not, because it would likely be the companies that would be held liable as we have seen with GDPR. Companies will not be willing to take the risks if the penalties are anything like what they are for GDPR violations.

EDIT: Those fines are up to 20,000,000 or 4% of annual turnover, whichever is higher
So they can't just make the scanning exclusive to EU users, using geolocation to tell that they are from the EU before giving the prompt to have everything scanned?

If the service you are using operates in the EU, they'd likely still be subject.
Couldn't you just refuse to agree and you would still be able to send images and videos if you and the person you are sending it to are outside the EU, since this wouldn't apply to you? Surely they'd have a way of telling what country the users are from.

Pornographic internet website means an internet website on which the owner of the internet website, for commercial gain, knowingly publishes sexually explicit content that, on an annual basis, exceeds one-third of the contents published on the internet website.(B)Sexually explicit content means visual imagery of an individual or individuals engaging in an act of masturbation, sexual intercourse, oral copulation, or other overtly sexual conduct that, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
This is what they mean by a porn site, reading the bill. Deviantart and Furaffinity would definitely get hit by this.

Saw on the comments there on Gizmondo that one of them believes a lot of these laws have loopholes where as long as a certain percentage of the site is not porn, they dont have to use age verification. If so, that would explain why DA tightened it's ToS and banned a whole lot of NSFW users last year, besides payment processor bullying.

Does the EU have a Section 230 equivalent? Because I could see US sites migrating over there in the scenario it gets sunsetted to get around being held liable for user-uploaded content, especially if the Republicans win in November.

They explained why in their WSJ opinion article.

They feel Congress hasn't acted and big tech companies won't respond to any attempts they have made, so they're looking to force the issue by sunsetting it.

The problem is both Congress and big tech are just gonna say "bet" and we're all going to be fucked.
If there any way for the sunsetting to be cancelled before the year and a half time limit is up?

From one of the article's linked pages: https://energycommerce.house.gov/posts/energy-and-commerce-leaders-unveil-bipartisan-draft-legislation-to-sunset-section-230

...

This is not going to end how they think it's going to end. What the fuck are they thinking?
Obviously made by old people who have no tech literacy, and it sounds like from the TC's link that sunsetting Section 230 would make the internet even more lawless instead of putting pressure on Big Tech to moderate their content more, since websites would be incentivized to not moderate their users period to avoid being held liable.
