Bill > H1161

This bill, named "Brooke's Law", requires online platforms that primarily host user-generated content to establish a process for removing altered sexual depictions posted without the consent of the person depicted. Under the bill, "covered platforms" must create a clear, accessible mechanism by which an identifiable person or their authorized representative can request the removal of non-consensual sexually altered images or videos. The removal request must include specific information such as the requester's signature, details to locate the image, a statement of good faith belief that the content was published without consent, and contact information. Platforms must then remove the flagged content within 48 hours and make reasonable efforts to remove identical copies. The bill provides legal immunity for platforms that act in good faith when removing such content and establishes that failure to comply with these requirements can be treated as an unfair or deceptive practice subject to penalties. Certain types of platforms are exempted, including telecommunications services, email services, and platforms that primarily provide preselected content. The law is designed to protect individuals from the non-consensual sharing of digitally manipulated sexual content and gives them a legal mechanism to have such content quickly removed from online platforms.
