Summary

The law lets a survivor or a designated representative submit a device protection request to an account manager to end a perpetrator’s remote access to a connected device or user account. Account managers must respond within two business days by disabling the abuser’s access or giving clear reset instructions, and they may not charge fees or inform the abuser. The measure is intended to improve safety for victims of domestic violence, stalking, and related crimes who are targeted through technology.
