Sharma said the new law sets out liability for an online company that hasn’t taken reasonable steps to address the non-consensual distribution of photos or videos on their site, which can include an order for damages.
“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. “I expect them to comply with a court order from a British Columbian court with respect to a British Columbian citizen and their image,” she said.
Sharma said she has already had a “productive” meeting with representatives from Google and expects to meet with other companies to talk about systems they can put in place to comply with the act.
