On Monday, the House passed the Take It Down Act with overwhelming bipartisan support, criminalizing the nonconsensual sharing of explicit images and deepfakes. The bill, which mandates platforms to remove such content within two days, is poised for President Trump's signature after its passage through the Senate in February. This significant legislation addresses revenge porn and aims to hold social media companies accountable for harmful content, responding to growing concerns over the impact of such material on teenagers, especially girls. It represents the first major move in internet content regulation since 2018.
The Take It Down Act criminalizes the nonconsensual sharing of explicit images, including A.I.-generated deepfakes, mandating swift removals by platforms.
This bipartisan legislation, passed 409 to 2, unites conservatives and liberals to combat revenge porn, marking significant progress in internet regulation.
