California SB1217 establishes a clearinghouse for removing nonconsensual intimate images from online platforms.

California SB1217 creates the Nonconsensual Intimate Image Clearinghouse within the Department of Justice. This clearinghouse will allow individuals to request the removal of nonconsensual intimate images from covered platforms. The Department of Justice will verify the identity of the requester and the nonconsensual nature of the images. Once verified, the department will transmit identifiers of the images to the platforms, which must remove the images within 48 hours. The bill also imposes civil penalties for platforms that fail to comply, with higher penalties for larger platforms.
