flag British Columbia demands global removal of a non-consensual image, challenging X's partial compliance.

flag British Columbia’s Attorney General Niki Sharma criticized social media company X for challenging a court order to remove a non-consensual intimate image globally, calling the move inadequate. flag The Civil Resolution Tribunal fined X $100,000 for only geo-blocking the image in Canada, not removing it worldwide, under B.C.’s Intimate Images Protection Act. flag X argues global removal would infringe on foreign sovereignty and threaten free speech, warning it could enable authoritarian censorship. flag The complainant, a transgender individual, called the legal challenge an abuse of process. flag The province will intervene to defend the law, stressing that survivors deserve full protection and partial compliance is insufficient. flag The case hinges on whether the tribunal’s order exceeds jurisdiction or properly enforces domestic privacy rights.
