President Trump signed the Take It Down Act into law on Monday during a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden, alongside First Lady Melania Trump. The bipartisan law criminalizes the nonconsensual distribution of pornographic images—including revenge porn and AI-generated deepfakes. Under the law, social media platforms are required to remove intimate content within 48 hours of a victim’s request. The Act marks the first federal legislation targeting the unauthorized posting of explicit imagery, and it aims to address the growing abuse of digital tools in online harassment.
