## Summary

**Creates federal crimes and requires platforms to remove nonconsensual intimate images and deepfakes.** It would criminalize publishing intimate visual depictions of adults and minors without consent and set platform notice-and-removal rules with FTC enforcement and penalties. - Individuals and families: People can ask covered platforms to remove nonconsensual intimate images and platforms must try to remove identical copies and act within 48 hours of a valid request. Convicted publishers face fines, forfeiture, and restitution and adults can receive up to 2 years in prison. - Minors: Publishing intimate depictions of an identifiable minor with intent to abuse, humiliate, harass, or arouse is unlawful and carries penalties up to 3 years, with enhanced penalties for threats and certain digital forgeries. - Platforms and regulators: Covered platforms must create a clear notice-and-removal process within one year and receive limited liability for good faith removals. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the rules as unfair or deceptive acts or practices while other laws remain preserved.
