In Mississippi, Senate Bill 2346 (SB 2346) requires adult websites to verify the age of users accessing explicit content to ensure they are 18 years or older. This law aims to prevent minors from accessing adult material by mandating strict age verification measures.

Failure to comply with Mississippi's SB 2346 can result in the following penalties:
Civil fines imposed on website operators.
Potential lawsuits from individuals or guardians affected by violations.
Injunctions that may require the website to cease operations in the state.
Legal liability, including potential damages for exposing minors to adult content.

To comply with SB 2346, websites must implement one or more of the following age verification methods:
Third-party government ID verification (e.g., driver's license, passport).
Credit card verification to confirm the user is an adult.
Secure digital identity services that use public records to verify age.
Biometric verification, such as facial recognition linked to an ID.
