Intimate Privacy Protection Act

The Intimate Privacy Protection Act amends Section 230 of the Communications Act to require online platforms to implement specific safeguards against cyberstalking, intimate privacy violations, and digital forgeries. Platforms must establish processes to prevent these harms, allow clear reporting, investigate claims, and remove verified violations within 24 hours - including non-consensual intimate images or deepfakes designed to cause harm. The bill directly affects major social media and content-sharing platforms hosting user-generated content, mandating these measures for content posted after enactment. It directs the FTC to create implementing regulations within 180 days and explicitly states the changes do not infringe on First Amendment rights.
