Summary of Bill A 3064 (NJ, Session 222)

Purpose and intent

This act requires social media companies to cooperate with certain nonprofit organizations that work to remove nonconsensual intimate images and videos (often called “revenge porn”) from social platforms. The bill recognizes rising incidents of nonconsensual intimate content, including deceptive audio/visual media generated with AI, and aims to improve removal processes by mandating collaboration between platforms and nonprofits such as StopNCII.org and Take It Down initiatives.

Key provisions and changes

Define terms central to the bill, including:

Nonprofit organization, social media platform, deceptive audio or visual media, intimate images or videos, minor, and other relevant terms.
Social media platform is limited to services with at least five million account holders worldwide and excludes pure news, sports, entertainment, or certain non-user-generated content services.

Mandated cooperation (Section 3):

Each social media company must cooperate with nonprofit organizations removing nonconsensual intimate images/videos, including those involving deceptive media.
Social media platforms must establish procedures to assist nonprofits in monitoring, flagging, and requesting removal of such content disclosed on the platform.
Upon receiving a removal request, the platform must immediately remove the material from public view pending a thorough review to determine consent.

Definition of nonconsensual content (Section 3c–d):

Content is nonconsensual if the depicted individual did not give express consent for creation or disclosure.
Content involving a minor (or deceptive media depicting a minor or created/disclosed when a minor) is nonconsensual.

Penalties (Section 4):

Violators face civil penalties: up to $10,000 for a first offense and up to $20,000 for a second or subsequent offense, in addition to other penalties.
Penalties may be enforced via summary proceedings under New Jersey’s Penalty Enforcement Law.

Effective date (Section 5):

The act takes effect immediately upon enactment.

Who/what is affected

Social media companies meeting the defined threshold (minimum 5 million worldwide account holders) operating in New Jersey.

Nonprofit organizations focused on removing nonconsensual intimate images/videos (e.g., StopNCII.org, Take It Down initiatives) that work with platforms.

Individuals depicted in intimate images or videos, including minors, who may be subject to removal requests and potential enforcement actions against violators.

Procedural and timeline aspects

The bill has immediate effect upon enactment.

Platforms must implement procedures promptly to handle monitoring, flagging, and rapid removal requests.

Penalties are enforceable through state courts under the existing Penalty Enforcement Law, providing a mechanism for collection and compliance monitoring.

Observations

The bill codifies a cooperative framework between large-scale social media platforms and nonprofit endeavors to curb nonconsensual intimate content.

It explicitly covers deceptive media and content involving minors, expanding protections against synthetic or AI-generated representations.

The scope is limited to platforms with substantial reach, potentially excluding smaller platforms from these requirements.
