First Lady Melania Trump has made her first public remarks of Donald Trump's second term by advocating for stronger legislation against deepfake and revenge pornography.
Speaking at Capitol Hill, she expressed concern over the impact of online abuse, particularly on teenagers, calling it 'heartbreaking.' She participated in a roundtable discussion with lawmakers to support a bill that would criminalize the non-consensual sharing of intimate images. This initiative aligns with her previous 'Be Best' campaign, which focused on online safety and responsible digital behavior.
Her involvement signals a renewed push for federal action to combat online exploitation.
