Bill S-209 primarily aims to restrict young persons' access to online pornographic material. It seeks to establish a legal framework to protect minors from inappropriate content available on the Internet.

Key provisions of the bill include the implementation of age verification mechanisms for users accessing websites containing pornographic material. It also imposes obligations on online content providers to ensure these verifications are in place and effective.

The bill amends certain existing laws to incorporate these new age verification and minor protection requirements.

The main entities affected by this bill are online content providers, who will need to adapt their systems to comply with the new regulations, as well as young people and their families, who will benefit from increased protection against access to inappropriate content.
