HB1233

This bill requires manufacturers and sellers of internet-connected products to include digital blocking software that can filter out obscene material and nonconsensual pornography, and establishes a fee that distributors can charge consumers to deactivate this blocking feature. The bill also creates a new "Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation Prevention Fund" to support efforts against these crimes. These are new requirements in South Dakota law designed to protect consumers, particularly children, from accessing harmful online content.
