Quebec is the second province to pass a bill protecting victims of non-consensual image sharing.

A new law now allows people to quickly obtain a court order to remove intimate images shared online.

Failure to comply can lead to harsh penalties, including fines of up to $50,000 per day for a first offence or up to 18 months in jail.

In Manitoba , the Non-Consensual Distribution of Intimate Images Act , passed in 2024 , gave victims civil remedies and addressed the distribution of fake intimate images created by the use of technology. It was the first province to legislate on the matter in 2015 when it introduced the Intimate Images Protection Act . — with files from The Canadian Press .
