The goal is to increase accountability for privacy violations and ensure better financial compensation for those harmed.
Key points
Maximum statutory damages in civil lawsuits for nonconsensual disclosure of intimate images (often called 'revenge porn') increase from $150,000 to $500,000.
The legal definition of a protected intimate image is expanded to include 'an identifiable individual engaging in sexually explicit conduct'.
