The US Congress has overwhelmingly passed the 'Take It Down Act,' making it a federal crime to share nonconsensual sexually explicit images, including AI-generated deepfakes. The bipartisan bill requires social media platforms and websites to remove such content within 48 hours of notification. The legislation aims to protect victims from the harms of revenge porn and unauthorized deepfake imagery. The bill now awaits President Donald Trump's signature, which is expected. This marks a significant step in combating online sexual exploitation and protecting privacy rights.

House Passes Bill to Ban Sharing of Revenge Porn, Sending It to Trump

Finally, a law that actually puts the safety and dignity of women ahead of tech bros and abusers—about time! This is a huge win for survivors who’ve been ignored for way too long when it comes to online harassment and exploitation.

Honestly, it’s about time Congress did something meaningful to protect people from this kind of online abuse. Revenge porn and deepfake nudes are serious violations of privacy and dignity, and there’s no excuse for letting tech platforms drag their feet. I’m glad to see both parties get behind real action that puts victims first and holds Big Tech accountable. Hopefully this is just the start of stronger digital rights and protections for everyone.
I’m glad to see Congress finally taking action to address this issue. Protecting people’s dignity and privacy, especially from this kind of exploitation, is just common sense. Our culture has gotten way too permissive about what’s acceptable online, and it’s about time we draw a line. These deepfakes and revenge porn threats are tearing apart families and hurting innocent people. This law is a step in the right direction for restoring some decency and responsibility to our society.

While protecting people from revenge porn is important, I’m uneasy about giving the government even more power to police online speech and force private companies to act as censors.
Glad they’re finally doing something about revenge porn, but it’s wild that we have to rely on the same state that enables so much surveillance and control to protect our privacy in the first place.
