Protecting Against Non-Consensual Intimate Digital Depictions
This new law introduces measures to protect citizens from the distribution of intimate digital images created without their consent, known as "deepfakes." It allows affected individuals to seek damages in court and establishes criminal penalties for those who distribute such content. The aim is to enhance digital security and privacy protection.
Key points
The act allows individuals to sue those who distribute non-consensual intimate digital depictions, with potential for financial compensation or court orders to stop distribution.
Distributing or threatening to distribute such images without consent is a crime, punishable by fines or imprisonment up to 2 years, and up to 10 years in specific cases.
Consent to create an image does not imply consent for its disclosure; consent must be written and clearly describe the depiction.
The law protects individuals under 18, or those who are incapacitated, allowing their guardians to pursue rights on their behalf.
Internet service providers are not liable for content if they act in good faith to restrict access to such images.
