Bill Summary

ENOUGH Act Ending Nonconsensual Online User Graphic Harassment Act of 2017

AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Ending Nonconsensual Online User Graphic Harassment Act of 2017" or the "ENOUGH Act," aims to amend Title 18 of the United States Code to make it unlawful to knowingly distribute a private, intimate visual depiction of an individual without their consent, with reckless disregard for the harm it may cause. The bill defines key terms such as "communications service," "distribute," "information content provider," and "intimate visual depiction." It provides exceptions for law enforcement activities, good-faith reporting of unlawful activity, and legal proceedings, but does not apply to communications service providers unless they intentionally solicit or predominantly distribute such content. The bill also includes penalties for threats and extortion related to these offenses and establishes venue and extraterritorial jurisdiction.
