Trump Signs Bipartisan Act Targeting Deepfake Abuse and Online Exploitation
President Donald TRUMP signed the Take It Down Act into law, a bipartisan measure criminalizing non-consensual publication of intimate images, including AI-generated content. Tech platforms are now required to remove such material within 48 hours of notification. The law took effect immediately.
First Lady Melania Trump, who joined the signing ceremony, hailed the legislation as a "national victory" in safeguarding children. The act extends federal protections to victims of deepfake abuse and revenge porn, marking a significant step in digital rights enforcement.
