The purpose of this legislation is to protect individuals from the unauthorized sharing of intimate digital images, particularly those that have been altered or created using digital technology. It aims to prevent harm that can arise from the non-consensual disclosure of such images, which can lead to emotional distress, reputational damage, and other negative consequences. Key provisions of the law include a clear definition of what constitutes an "intimate digital depiction," which includes images showing private body parts or sexually explicit conduct.
