Bill 119 HR 1203 aims to amend title 18 of the United States Code in order to broaden the existing prohibition against video voyeurism. Video voyeurism is the act of secretly recording or photographing individuals in private settings without their consent for the purpose of sexual gratification or to invade their privacy. The proposed amendment seeks to expand the definition of video voyeurism to include not only the act of recording or photographing individuals without their consent, but also the act of distributing or transmitting these recordings or images without consent. This expansion is intended to address the growing concern of individuals using technology to share and distribute intimate images or videos of others without their knowledge or permission. The bill also aims to increase the penalties for those found guilty of video voyeurism, in order to deter individuals from engaging in this harmful behavior. By strengthening the existing laws against video voyeurism, the bill seeks to protect individuals' privacy and prevent the exploitation of vulnerable individuals through the unauthorized recording and distribution of their private images or videos. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1203 is a step towards addressing the evolving challenges posed by technology in the realm of privacy and ensuring that individuals are protected from the harmful effects of video voyeurism.
