What victims most want is a remedy to remove the photo from the Internet. That is, I think, the number one thing—the online harms kind of remedy. That is starting to appear in different jurisdictions. I always make a point of arguing for things that you can do in the federal jurisdiction, but yes, what victims want is for the image to disappear. That's why targeting the creation might also enable the law to intervene with the companies that diffuse these, that share these images.
Yes, there's definitely a role for civil law, but civil law, if it's just defamation, takes time—and it's too late. It's really about removing the images. Our proposals are limited to federal jurisdiction, but yes, absolutely, that would be part of the solution. It's also the teaching on what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. If the limit is different in civil remedies, in online harms and in criminal law, it may create confusion, but it definitely must be part of the picture.
