New revenge po.n law signed by Trump is being praised as it’s expected to have major impact
President Donald Trump has signed the **Take It Down Act** into law, enabling victims of non-consensual deepfake pornography and revenge porn to take legal action. The law targets both AI-generated and real explicit content shared without consent, imposing criminal penalties, fines, or prison time for offenders. Social media platforms must now remove such content within **48 hours** of being notified or face consequences. Trump emphasized the law’s importance, calling it a critical step to protect women from digital exploitation.
The bill received near-unanimous support in Congress, with First Lady Melania Trump and lawmakers like Senator Ted Cruz praising it as a major victory against online abuse. Advocacy groups, including the **National Center for Missing & Exploited Children**, welcomed the law for closing legal gaps. Public reaction has been largely positive, with many calling it a rare but necessary move by the administration to combat digital harassment. The law gives victims stronger legal recourse while holding platforms accountable for harmful content.
