Bill Summary

This bill requires social media companies to cooperate with nonprofit organization initiatives to remove nonconsensual intimate images or videos, including any intimate image or video of deceptive audio or visual media, from the social media company's social media platform. Under the bill, intimate images or videos are defined to include images or videos that depict intimate body parts, sexual penetration, or sexual contact in any manner in which such objects or acts are not completely and opaquely covered. An intimate image or video would be considered nonconsensual when the individual in the image or video did not give express consent for the image or video to be taken, recorded, or disclosed. Additionally, if an intimate image or video depicts a minor, the intimate image or video would be considered nonconsensual whenever the image or video is disclosed. In the event the image is a work of deceptive audio or visual media, it is considered nonconsensual when an individual who is depicted in the media did not give express consent for the image or video to be created or disclosed. If the individual depicted in the intimate image or video of deceptive audio or visual media is depicted as a minor or is a minor when the image or video was created or disclosed, the deceptive audio or visual media is considered nonconsensual whenever the image or video is disclosed. Specifically, the bill requires each social media company to establish and implement procedures to assist nonprofit organizations in monitoring, flagging, and removing nonconsensual intimate images that are disclosed on a social media platform. Upon receiving a request to remove any nonconsensual intimate images or videos, the bill requires a social media company to immediately remove the flagged material from the social media platform until a thorough review has been completed and the social media company has determined that the intimate images or videos were consensual. The bill imposes a civil penalty of $10,000 for a first offense, and $20,000 for a second and each subsequent offense, in addition to any other penalty imposed by law.

AI Summary

This bill requires social media companies, defined as entities operating a social media platform with at least five million account holders worldwide, to cooperate with nonprofit organizations that work to remove nonconsensual intimate images or videos from their platforms. Intimate images or videos are defined as those depicting intimate body parts, sexual penetration, or sexual contact that is not completely covered, and are considered nonconsensual if the individual did not give express consent for them to be taken, recorded, or disclosed, or if they depict a minor and are disclosed. The bill also addresses deceptive audio or visual media, such as AI-generated images, defining them as nonconsensual if the depicted individual did not consent to their creation or disclosure, with special provisions for minors. Social media companies must establish procedures to help these nonprofit organizations monitor, flag, and request the removal of such content, and must immediately remove flagged material pending a review to determine consent. Failure to comply will result in civil penalties of $10,000 for a first offense and $20,000 for subsequent offenses.
