“There is apathy. IBSA is not perceived as a serious sex crime. It is both a symptom & a consequence of rape culture.” This article is well done & worth the read….When your photos and videos become tools of exploitation. citizenmatters.in/image-based-ab…. MyOwn Image

“federal legislation can take years to (be)….signed into law. But state legislatures & local politicians can move faster”- Which is exactly why MyOwn Image is focused on driving state-level policy reforms. wired.com/story/deepfake…

Sharing a person’s intimate images without their consent is a violation of their right to choose WHO, & in what CONTEXT, someone gets to view their naked body. NDII is an act of SEXUAL VIOLENCE. Abuse Material is NOT Pornography.

Disappointing, but not at all surprising- X Absent as Big Tech & Biden Look to End Sexually Violent Imagery Online tech.co/news/x-absent-…

I’m proud to announce that MyOwn Image is leading a multi-state, bipartisan effort to introduce stronger protections against NDII in at least 6 states during their 2025 sessions.

KOSA didn't make it in, but the Cruz/Klobuchar/Salazar/Dean Take It Down Act on nonconsensual did. The bill would criminalize publishing revenge and deepfake "porn" and require platforms take down upon victims' notice. A bit of civil liberties concern but Big Tech backers too

Thrilled to see Take it Down included in the Continuing Resolution- a critical first step in validating survivors, addressing harm, and strengthening protections against image-based sexual abuse & nonconsensual distribution of intimate images. docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…
