The Take It Down Act, recently approved by Congress, imposes stricter penalties for distributing nonconsensual intimate imagery, commonly referred to as "revenge porn." It seeks to combat the dissemination of both real and AI-generated images without consent. Websites are required to swiftly remove such material within 48 hours of a victim's request. Supported by bipartisan lawmakers and First Lady Melania Trump, this federal legislation aims to safeguard victims, especially targeting the devastation caused to teenagers by these actions. Critics voice concerns over potential First Amendment implications due to the broad language of the bill.
The Take It Down Act makes it illegal to knowingly publish intimate images without consent, addressing both real and AI-generated imagery.
Senators Cruz and Klobuchar introduced the bill, which garnered bipartisan support, highlighting its societal importance in the fight against revenge porn.
