The FTC stated that it is prepared to “monitor compliance, investigate violations, and enforce” the law. Although the FTC’s letters targeted major technology companies, the law is not limited to Big Tech.

Featured In The May 2026 Edition Of XBIZ World Taken together, these measures — most notably a 10% tax on adult-content revenue, mandatory age verification requirements, and a notarization mandate for performer consent documents — have created a legal environment that many industry participants view as not merely regulatory, but prohibitive.
