What does the bill do?

The bill amends the Prohibition on the Purchase of Prostitution Law of 2019 by adding a new criminal offense: paying for the performance or viewing of personalized online sexual content or a live broadcast of a sexual act. The explanatory notes state that in the digital age online infrastructure enables sexual exploitation and drawing people into prostitution, and the bill's significance is to extend responsibility to consumers of online sexual content, similar to policy in other societies.
