Laws on NCII Sharing Across the Globe
In addition, all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. have enacted their own non-consensual intimate image (NCII) laws, which generally make it illegal to share intimate images without consent, even when the images were originally taken with consent. Penalties vary by state but commonly include criminal charges ranging from misdemeanours to felonies, potential imprisonment, fines, and civil remedies such as damages or court-ordered removal of content.
