Requires social media platforms to cooperate with nonprofit organization initiatives to remove nonconsensual intimate images or videos.
This bill requires large social media platforms (with 5 million+ global users) to cooperate with designated nonprofits in removing nonconsensual intimate images or videos - including AI-generated deceptive media - from their platforms. It directly affects victims of "revenge porn" (including minors), social media companies, and nonprofits like StopNCII.org working to remove such content. Key provisions mandate platforms to establish procedures for nonprofits to flag content, immediately remove flagged material pending review, and determine if images/videos were consensual. Violations carry civil penalties of up to $20,000 per offense. The law aims to address gaps in voluntary cooperation while defining nonconsensual content broadly to cover minors and AI-generated media.
