2257
The 18 U.S.C. 2257 regulations pertain to record-keeping requirements for producers of sexually explicit content. Although they are a U.S. legal requirement, the following document serves as a model for compliance if South African Cams decides to align with these regulations, either voluntarily or due to international considerations. It’s worth mentioning that while South African Cams is based in South Africa, compliance with 18 U.S.C. 2257 can enhance transparency and build trust with users, especially if the website reaches an international audience.
