S.N.S. 2017, c. 7, ss. 3(f)-(g), 4A, 5-6, 11-11A · Read the law's page
- The Act binds anyone who distributes an intimate image without consent, and any person the Court orders to act. An intimate image includes a fake intimate image created through software, machine learning or artificial intelligence (ss. 3(f), 3(g)).
- Expect the Court, on the application of a person depicted in an intimate image distributed or threatened to be distributed without consent, to order the distributor to stop, to take down or disable access to the image, and to pay damages and account for profits (ss. 5, 6(1), 6(3)).
- If the Court orders you, as any person, provide the information in your possession that may help identify who used an Internet Protocol address, website, username, account or electronic mail address to distribute an intimate image without consent, and take down or disable access to the image (s. 6(2)).
- If a person depicted in an intimate image revokes consent and tells you, as a person who distributed it with consent, make every reasonable effort to make the image unavailable to others (s. 4A(2)).
- Do not contravene an order made under the Act, which is an offence unless it is an order for payment of damages or accounting of profits (s. 11).
