Consumer protection; illicit material, private rights created, enforcement authorized, penalties established

Summary

The measure updates Alabama’s illegal image law by defining a “private image,” making its creation and distribution a misdemeanor and later a felony for repeat offenders, and giving victims a private right to sue website owners, nudification apps, and payment processors that recklessly facilitate such material. It also requires a signed removal request from the depicted person and lets the attorney general seek emergency court orders. Neutral internet providers and general‑purpose technology are shielded unless they actively promote the illicit use.
