Clarifies consent to being photographed, filmed, or recorded in sexual manner does not include or imply consent to disclosure of image.
This New Jersey bill (S 2626) clarifies that consent to being photographed, filmed, or recorded in intimate or sexual situations does not automatically allow sharing or disclosing those images. It requires separate, explicit consent for disclosure - meaning someone can consent to being photographed but still prohibit sharing the photo. The law directly affects individuals whose intimate images are captured without proper consent and those who share such images without separate permission. Key provisions define "disclose" broadly (including online sharing) and specify that consent for taking an image cannot be interpreted as consent for sharing it.
