This legislation aims to combat cyberstalking and intimate privacy violations by amending key federal laws. It modifies Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934, introducing a new duty of care for interactive computer service providers. This duty mandates that platforms implement reasonable processes to address cyberstalking and intimate privacy violations to retain their Section 230 immunity for these specific issues.

These required processes include preventing cyberstalking and intimate privacy violations, providing a clear mechanism for notice and removal under the TAKE IT DOWN Act, and maintaining data logs for legal proceedings. Platforms must also remove content determined unlawful by a court. The bill expands the definition of an "information content provider" to include those using generative models, thereby encompassing AI-generated content.

The bill also significantly amends the TAKE IT DOWN Act, broadening its scope to cover both cyberstalking and sexually explicit digital forgeries. Covered platforms must establish a process for individuals to notify them of such content and request its removal. Upon receiving a valid request, platforms are required to remove the content within 48 hours and make reasonable efforts to identify and remove identical copies.

The legislation defines "cyberstalking" as a deliberate course of conduct causing substantial emotional distress or fear of bodily harm, and "intimate privacy violation" as non-consensual intimate visual depictions or sexually explicit digital forgeries. The Federal Trade Commission, in consultation with other agencies, is directed to promulgate regulations to implement these amendments within 180 days. The amendments apply to information made available on or after the enactment date and are not to be construed to infringe upon First Amendment rights.
