PROTECT Act of 2026 Preventing Rampant Online Technological Exploitation...
A bill to prevent the distribution of intimate visual depictions without consent.
This bill, SB5129, aims to stop the unauthorized sharing of intimate images, often referred to as "revenge porn." It intends to protect individuals from having their private visual depictions distributed without their consent, which can cause significant emotional distress and harm.
The bill would affect anyone who distributes such images without permission, as it would establish legal consequences for such actions. Victims of these violations would benefit from enhanced protections against this invasive practice.
As of July 23, 2026, the bill has been introduced and referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. The next steps will involve committee review, potential amendments, and a vote before it can move forward in the legislative process.
