Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act
Nebraska Intimate Images Civil Remedies Act
Other · Artificial intelligence
This uniform act gives people depicted in private intimate images a civil claim against anyone who shares or threatens to share those images without consent. A 2025 amendment (LB371) extends it to computer-generated or digitally manipulated images, covering sexual deepfakes. Consenting to an image's creation or earlier sharing does not by itself mean consent to later disclosure.
