Nudification technology access prohibition

SF 2240 prohibits websites, apps, software, or programs from allowing users to access, download, or use "nudification technology" - defined as altering images or videos to reveal intimate body parts without consent or making such depictions appear realistic. It directly affects platform operators and users who might employ this technology, with penalties including civil fines of at least $500,000 per violation. Victims of violations can seek compensatory damages (up to three times actual harm), punitive damages, injunctions, and attorney fees. The law takes effect August 1, 2025, and applies to violations occurring after that date.
