British Columbia’s Attorney General, Niki Sharma, expressed concern over X Corp.’s legal challenge against a tribunal order to remove a non-consensual intimate image, claiming it violates the Intimate Images Protection Act. The tribunal penalized X with $100,000 for not globally removing the image, as it only implemented “geo-blocking” in Canada.

Sharma stated that B.C. will defend the law, emphasizing the need for complete removal of such images.
