Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
The Intimate Privacy Protection Act modifies federal law to require online platforms and social media companies to take reasonable steps to combat cyberstalking, non-consensual intimate imagery, and deepfake content. Online service providers must implement processes to prevent these harms, provide accessible reporting mechanisms, investigate complaints, and remove harmful content within 24 hours once identified. The bill also requires companies to maintain data logs that can be used in legal proceedings related to these violations and to comply with court orders removing unlawful content. The Federal Trade Commission must develop detailed regulations within 180 days to implement these requirements. The legislation applies to content posted on platforms after the law takes effect and includes a safeguard preserving First Amendment protections.
