Attorney general alerts online companies to B.C.'s new image-sharing law

Niki Sharma said Thursday the Intimate Images Protection Act will come into force in the coming months and create new legal mechanisms to stop the online distribution of images such as near-nude photos, videos, livestreams and digitally altered content.

"I expect these technology companies to join me in condemning these terrible acts, and I expect them to share our goal of protecting people over profits." "This process is set up to protect victims in terms of taking down the images and going after civil claims of damages against people in the event that they were harmed by those images," she said.

"So that means where it's distributing on their websites, no matter where it is, the obligation is to take it down."
