On May 19, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed into law S. 146, known as the "Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act" or the "TAKE IT DOWN" Act. This legislation introduces a criminal prohibition on the intentional disclosure of nonconsensual intimate visual depictions. It also mandates that covered platforms remove such depictions.
The act aims to address issues related to technological deepfakes and their exploitation on websites and networks.
