New Right to Sue for Receiving Unsolicited Explicit Images and Deepfakes.
This law establishes a new civil right allowing individuals to sue anyone who knowingly sends them unsolicited sexually explicit visual depictions, including AI-generated deepfakes, without their consent. The goal is to protect digital privacy and provide victims with a legal avenue to seek damages for emotional distress and cover legal costs. These protections apply to both adults and minors (represented by guardians).

Victims can seek damages (up to $500 or compensation for emotional distress) and a court order forcing the sender to stop the behavior.
The law protects the privacy of minor victims by allowing them to use initials in court filings.
Internet service providers and platforms are generally exempt from liability for merely transmitting user-initiated content.
