This bill mandates that social media companies cooperate with nonprofit organizations to remove nonconsensual intimate images or videos, including those created through deceptive audio or visual media. It defines nonconsensual intimate images or videos as those taken or disclosed without the express consent of the individual depicted, particularly emphasizing protections for minors. The bill requires social media platforms to establish procedures for monitoring and flagging such content, ensuring that any flagged material is removed immediately until a thorough review confirms whether the images or videos were consensual.
Additionally, the bill imposes civil penalties for violations, with fines set at $10,000 for a first offense and $20,000 for subsequent offenses. This legislative effort aims to enhance the protection of individuals from the harmful effects of nonconsensual sharing of intimate content, addressing the growing issue exacerbated by the rise of social media and artificial intelligence-generated media.
