- 01
How would platforms distinguish between consensually-shared intimate images and nonconsensual ones when enforcing the 48-hour removal deadline?
- 02
What evidence exists that criminal penalties and restitution requirements would deter this behavior more effectively than current civil remedies?
- 03
Should platforms face liability for intimate images uploaded by users, or should enforcement focus solely on individual perpetrators?
