AI Summary

It also grants the Attorney General the power to order the removal of unconsented material from websites that generate advertisement revenue or other profits if the person whose likeness is used has suffered significant harassment, financial loss, or other injuries as a result, with exceptions for news, public affairs, political campaigns, and similar public information sites.
