The bill makes it a federal crime to knowingly publish nonconsensual intimate images, including realistic AI-generated deepfakes, and to threaten to publish such images to intimidate, harass, or extort someone. It also requires platforms hosting user-generated content to create a system for victims to report these images and have them removed within 48 hours, including reasonable efforts to remove duplicates.
The law applies to individuals who create or share nonconsensual intimate images, and to potential victims who gain new legal protections and removal rights. It also affects social media companies, websites, and apps that must build reporting and removal systems.
Platforms face new compliance obligations and potential FTC enforcement if they fail to remove reported images quickly, while individuals who violate the law face criminal prosecution.
