The Take It Down Act, recently signed into law by President Trump, targets the distribution of nonconsensual intimate images (NCII), including deepfakes. It mandates social media companies to swiftly act on removal requests. Supporters advocate for the law to protect individuals, while critics â including groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation â caution that the provisions might have unintended consequences, leading to excessive censorship and threats to privacy solutions like encryption. The Federal Trade Commission will oversee enforcement, with a compliance deadline of one year for social platforms.
The Take It Down Act criminalizes distributing nonconsensual intimate images and mandates swift removal by social media platforms, yet faces criticism for potential overreach.
Critics from organizations such as the EFF warn that the law's takedown provisions could chill free expression and jeopardize privacy tools like encryption.
