Bill 119 s 146, also known as the "Nonconsensual Intimate Visual Depictions Removal Act," is a piece of legislation that aims to address the issue of nonconsensual sharing of intimate images on online platforms. The bill requires covered platforms, such as social media websites and online forums, to promptly remove any visual depictions of individuals engaged in intimate activities that were shared without their consent.
The bill defines covered platforms as any website or online service that allows users to upload or share content with others. These platforms are required to establish policies and procedures for the removal of nonconsensual intimate images and to respond to requests for removal in a timely manner.
In addition to requiring the removal of nonconsensual intimate images, the bill also includes provisions for reporting and enforcement. Covered platforms are required to provide users with a mechanism for reporting nonconsensual intimate images, and the Federal Trade Commission is tasked with enforcing compliance with the legislation.
Overall, Bill 119 s 146 seeks to protect individuals from the harmful effects of having their intimate images shared without their consent and to hold online platforms accountable for facilitating the dissemination of such images.
