Something big just happened in the U.S. – a potential game changer in the fight against AI abuse and online exploitation. President Donald Trump has signed a new federal law that makes it a crime to share intimate images without consent – including deepfake po*rnography. Even more importantly, tech platforms are now required to remove such content within 48 hours of being reported.
The Take It Down Act is now officially in effect and provides long-awaited legal protection for victims whose images (real or AI-generated) were posted online with the intent to harm, harass, or exploit.

🔹 A Law Championed by Melania Trump
The signing was a powerful moment – President Trump was joined by First Lady Melania Trump, who had been actively promoting this legislation as part of her campaign to protect children in the digital age.
“This legislation is a big step forward in protecting every American – especially our youth – from abuse of their image or identity,” Melania said.
In an emotional speech, she compared AI and social media to digital candy – tempting, addictive, but potentially dangerous. She stressed that it’s time to set clear boundaries.

🔹 What Exactly Does the Law Prohibit?
The Take It Down Act classifies it as a federal crime to post or even threaten to post intimate images (including deepfakes) without the person’s consent, especially if the goal is to cause harm, harass, or sexually exploit.
📌 For adults, this includes both real and altered images obtained in private or without their knowledge.

📌 For minors, it covers any image published to abuse, harass, or sexually arouse the offender – whether real or AI-generated.

🔹 Tech Platforms Now Have a Legal Obligation
The law doesn't just target offenders – it also places new responsibilities on tech companies. Websites, apps, and platforms that host user-generated content (such as social media) must now have a working takedown system in place and remove harmful content within 48 hours of it being reported. They must also prevent reuploads of the same content.

🔹 Strong Bipartisan Support in Congress
The bill passed through Congress with near-unanimous support – the House of Representatives approved it 409–2. Both Democrats and Republicans backed the initiative.
Melania Trump personally lobbied lawmakers, hosted roundtable discussions with victims, and even invited one of them – Elliston Berry – as her guest at the President’s State of the Union address in March.

✳️ Why This Matters
In an age where AI tools are becoming widely accessible, the abuse of deepfake technology and revenge po*rn is a growing threat. Celebrities like Taylor Swift and Jamie Lee Curtis have already fallen victim – as have countless ordinary people, including minors.
The Take It Down Act stands as one of the first major federal responses to these threats, sending a strong message: the digital world also needs clear rules and protections.
