Melania Trump Advocates for Bipartisan Bill Targeting AI-Generated Revenge Porn
The first lady pushes for the 'Take It Down Act' to combat nonconsensual intimate imagery and safeguard online spaces for youth.
- Melania Trump made a rare Capitol Hill appearance to support the 'Take It Down Act,' a bipartisan bill addressing revenge porn and AI-generated deepfake images.
- The proposed legislation, introduced by Senators Ted Cruz and Amy Klobuchar, would criminalize sharing or threatening to share nonconsensual intimate imagery, with penalties of up to three years in prison for cases involving minors.
- The bill mandates social media platforms to remove flagged content within 48 hours and aims to hold tech companies accountable for protecting victims of digital exploitation.
- Victims, including a 15-year-old girl who shared her story, emphasized the devastating psychological impact of deepfake imagery on teenagers, especially girls targeted by classmates.
- Melania Trump called for bipartisan unity in passing the bill, criticizing the lack of broader Democratic participation and urging Congress to prioritize children's safety over political divides.
