Attorney general alerts online companies to B.C.’s new image-sharing law - Terrace Standard

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.

“The letter’s very clear, and they’re all on notice, that circulating or distributing intimate images is sexualized violence and will not be tolerated,” Sharma said at a news conference. 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.

Sharma acknowledged that jurisdictional issues are “complicated” when dealing with international technology companies and images distributed outside of B.C., but said the province does have mechanisms to enforce orders beyond its border.
