TAKE IT DOWN Act
Bill: S. 146
What Personalities Said
Laura Ingraham
Fox News
“Melania Trump went to Capitol Hill personally to push this bill. It protects women and children from having deepfake images of them circulated online. The First Lady got it done. 409 to 2 in the House.”
Chris Hayes
MSNBC
“The TAKE IT DOWN Act is one of the few things Congress has done this session that almost everyone agrees on. The concern from civil liberties groups is the 48-hour takedown mandate — that gives platforms an incentive to over-remove content rather than risk penalties.”
Jake Tapper
CNN
“President Trump signed the TAKE IT DOWN Act today in the Rose Garden. The bill makes it a federal crime to publish nonconsensual intimate images, including AI deepfakes, and requires platforms to take them down within 48 hours of a victim's complaint.”
Bret Baier
Fox News
“The TAKE IT DOWN Act passed the Senate by unanimous consent and the House 409 to 2. That is as close to unanimous as Congress gets on anything. The bill criminalizes nonconsensual intimate imagery including AI-generated deepfakes.”
Kaitlan Collins
CNN
“Senator Cruz, the TAKE IT DOWN Act would criminalize nonconsensual intimate imagery including AI-generated deepfakes. Elliston Berry, a victim of this technology, is here to explain why she says this bill cannot wait.”
