The Intimate Images Protection Act will come into force in the coming months and create new legal mechanisms to stop the distribution of such photos online, B.C. attorney general says

British Columbia’s attorney general has sent a letter to technology companies warning they could face orders to stop the distribution of intimate images of B.C. residents that have been shared without their consent.

In a letter sent to companies, including Twitter, Meta, OnlyFans, and Pornhub, Sharma says they could be required to delete, de-index or destroy images, or provide information that is needed to remove the photo. She says there’s an obligation to take down images no matter where they are located and that the province does have mechanisms to enforce orders beyond its border.
