The politicians are proud of the bill, but it is going to take a while to see if it works as intended.
If there had been a quick surefire way to shut down the sharing of intimate images of Amanda Todd, maybe she wouldn’t have taken her own life at age 15.
The fact that it took 13 years after the first pictures started circulating to produce the bill is not a good sign. B.C. will be mounting this effort by way of the Civil Resolutions Tribunal. It has operated for years as a way to resolve non-criminal disputes and was bulked up a few years ago to take on the huge additional workload of handling some ICBC cases.Officials said Statistics Canada reported an 80 per cent increase in non-consensual intimate image sharing over a period of five years.In preparation for the new law, the Civil Resolutions Tribunal is working to expand its online portal.
There is also the power to order any internet intermediaries, such as Facebook, Instagram or other online platforms to expunge such images. In the end it disagreed with the findings and rejected the proposed remedies and the commissioners had to admit they were helpless to do anything about it.The bill envisions two new processes available to someone whose privacy has been violated through non-consensual sharing of images.
