Attorney generals statement about social media company X challenging Civil Resolution Tribunal order

Attorney General Niki Sharma condemned social media company X for challenging a Civil Resolution Tribunal order mandating the removal of a non-consensual intimate image from its platform. She described the distribution of such images as profoundly harmful and emphasized that B. C. law requires their removal without exceptions. Sharma criticized X for choosing to contest the ruling rather than support survivors of intimate-image abuse, stating that mere border restrictions are inadequate for true protection.

She plans to direct her legal team to join the court case to uphold the legislation's intent. The Attorney General also reaffirmed ongoing efforts to implement the Intimate Images Protection Act, which aims to empower victims of non-consensual image sharing. She encouraged individuals who have experienced this harm to seek help, providing resources for assistance. Sharma expressed pride in the services available in B. C.

for survivors, pledging continued efforts to confront this serious issue. This case raises significant questions about justice administration in British Columbia, making the outcome particularly impactful for survivors.
