Online Privacy Protection: Platforms Must Remove Deepfakes and Cyberstalking Quickly.

This law requires online platforms to actively combat cyberstalking, non-consensual sharing of intimate images, and digital forgeries (deepfakes). If platforms fail to implement reasonable processes for reporting and removing such content within 24 hours, they lose their legal immunity for user-generated content. This aims to increase online safety and ensure faster action against severe privacy violations.
Key points
Online service providers must remove known or reported non-consensual intimate content and deepfakes within 24 hours.
Platforms must establish clear, accessible reporting and investigation processes for cyberstalking and privacy violations to maintain their legal protection (Section 230 immunity).
The Act legally defines "cyberstalking" and "digital forgery" (deepfakes) in the context of platform responsibility.
