Trump signs bipartisan bill to combat deepfakes and online exploitation

ChainCatcher news, according to decrypt, U.S. President Trump has signed the bipartisan "Take It Down Act" into law. This legislation classifies the non-consensual online publication of intimate images (including real images or AI-generated images) and deepfake pornographic content as a criminal offense, and requires major tech platforms to remove such content within 48 hours of receiving a notice.

First Lady Melania Trump called the legislation a "national victory" for protecting children from online exploitation. Victims of deepfakes and revenge porn will now be protected under U.S. federal law.
