About This Trend

The Take It Down Act is a United States federal law that makes it illegal to “knowingly publish” or threaten to publish intimate images without a person's consent, including AI-generated deepfakes. It is a bipartisan bill aimed at cracking down on the nonconsensual sharing of sexually explicit videos and photos.

The Take It Down Act is trending because President Donald Trump has signed it into law, providing protections for victims of revenge porn and deepfake exploitation, and subjecting violators to mandatory restitution and criminal penalties such as prison time. .
