How the laws define this
Legal provisions prohibiting nonconsensual intimate content agree that human genitalia and female breasts constitute the core scope of protected intimate parts. The instruments diverge, however, on specific anatomical boundaries and surrounding body regions. Regarding female breasts, Minnesota HF 1370 - Deepfake Dissemination Liability strictly limits protection to the female breast below the top of the areola, whereas Minnesota HF 1370 - Deepfake Criminal and Civil Liability (Minn. Stat. § 609.771) and AN ACT relating to crimes and offenses; creating an offense for the nonconsensual dissemination of an intimate image; specifying elements and penalties of the offense; providing definitions; providing exemptions; and providing for an effective date. include the breast generally. Furthermore, coverage of adjacent body areas varies: Minnesota HF 1370 - Deepfake Criminal and Civil Liability (Minn. Stat. § 609.771) uniquely includes the groin, inner thigh, and buttocks, while Minnesota HF 1370 - Deepfake Dissemination Liability includes the anus and naked pubic area, and the aforementioned act uniquely specifies the perineum.
