United States of America: Digital Voyeurism Prevention Bill was introduced to House of Representatives

On 20 January 2026, the Digital Voyeurism Prevention Bill was introduced to the House of Representatives. The Bill prohibits generation services from distributing artificial intelligence (AI)-generated intimate images without verified consent and imposes notice-and-takedown obligations on online platforms. It provides that upon receiving notice from a depicted individual or their authorised representative, accompanied by identification of the individual, a description or uniform resource locator of the image, a statement of non-consent, and contact details, a platform must temporarily disable access to the image within 48 hours, conduct a reasonable investigation within seven days, and, where non-consent is confirmed, permanently remove the image and prevent the reposting of substantially similar content.
