In an uncommon display of bipartisan agreement, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 409–2 in favor of the Take It Down Act, a comprehensive piece of legislation that criminalizes the creation and dissemination of nonconsensual, sexually explicit deepfake material.
This bill, co-sponsored by members from both political parties, is now set to be presented to President Trump, who is anticipated to sign it into law.
The legislation aims to combat a rising digital menace by instituting criminal penalties, mandating platform removals, providing civil remedies, and ensuring protections for minors.
It seeks to fill a legal void in current ‘revenge porn’ statutes, which seldom address AI-generated content. Supported by Senators Ted Cruz and Amy Klobuchar, along with Representatives Elvira Salazar and Madeline Dean, the act strikes a balance between essential privacy protections and First Amendment rights.
Its enactment signifies a significant advancement in the United States’ efforts to regulate AI-related abuses and uphold digital dignity.
