Summary
The CONSENT Act lets adults and the guardians of minors sue people who knowingly or recklessly transmit intimate visual depictions—including AI‑generated deep‑fakes—without permission. It defines key terms, limits the suit to non‑medical, non‑educational, non‑law‑enforcement transmissions, and provides for damages and injunctions. The goal is to protect privacy and emotional wellbeing in the digital age.
