§ 13-72b-304. Safe harbor for covered platforms.

1/1/2027 (1) A covered platform is not liable under Section 13-72b-303 if the covered platform demonstrates that: (a) the covered platform implemented and maintained notice and removal procedures that comply with Section 13-72b-302; and (b) the covered platform acted in good faith in responding to notices of non-consensual counterfeit intimate images. (2) A covered platform qualifies for safe harbor protection under this section even if a non-consensual counterfeit intimate image appeared on the platform if the covered platform demonstrates that: (a) the covered platform had no actual knowledge of the image before receiving notice under Section 13-72b-302; and (b) upon receiving notice, the covered platform complied with the takedown requirements in Section 13-72b-302.

(4) A covered platform may establish the safe harbor protections under this section by motion to dismiss or motion for summary judgment. (5) If a court determines that a covered platform has established safe harbor protection under this section on a motion to dismiss or motion for summary judgment, the court shall: (a) dismiss the action or grant summary judgment in favor of the covered platform; and (b) award the covered platform reasonable attorney fees and costs.
