Social media platform applies for judicial review of BC Civil Resolution Tribunal order to take down image worldwide.

In the September issue of this newsletter, we reported on the case of Re X Corp., 2025 BCCRT 1228, a decision of the British Columbia Civil Resolution Tribunal (“CRT”). The CRT had earlier issued a decision under the BC Intimate Images Act, ordering X (formerly Twitter) to take down certain intimate images of the complainant. X responded by “geo-fencing” the images, which made them inaccessible from Canada. In a further proceeding by the complainant, the CRT ruled that geo-fencing was inadequate and that X had not complied with the order. It ordered X to take down the images globally and fined it $100,000.00, the highest available penalty from that body.
