President Trump signed the TAKE IT DOWN Act, enhancing federal protections for victims of revenge porn and AI-generated sexual images. Introduced by Senators Cruz and Klobuchar, the law makes it illegal to publish nonconsensual intimate imagery without consent and requires tech companies to remove such content within 48 hours. This legislation addresses inconsistencies in state laws and offers adult victims federal protection for the first time. With bipartisan support and backing from major tech companies, the law seeks to hold perpetrators accountable and provide victims with necessary legal recourse.
"We must provide victims of online abuse with the legal protections they need when intimate images are shared without their consent, especially now that deepfakes are creating horrifying new opportunities for abuse."
"These images can ruin lives and reputations, but now that our bipartisan legislation is becoming law, victims will be able to have this material removed from social media platforms and law enforcement can hold perpetrators accountable."
