Texas, California, and Virginia

On Friday, California became the second state in the United States to pass a law allowing users targeted by acts of so-called “cyberflashing” to bring lawsuits or file civil complaints against the perpetrators, and the third state to target the practice more broadly.
The measure, which advanced unanimously in California’s legislature, mirrors laws in Texas and Virginia, and signals a widening state-level push to curb virtual harassment.
