Congress Passes Revenge Porn Act Amid Censorship Concerns | JQJO

Congress passed the bipartisan Take It Down Act, targeting the distribution of non-consensual intimate images, including AI-generated deepfakes. The bill mandates social media platforms remove such content within 48 hours of notification. While supported by Melania Trump and many tech companies, concerns exist regarding its broad language, potentially leading to censorship of legitimate content and First Amendment violations. Free speech advocates worry about the lack of safeguards against frivolous takedown requests and the pressure on platforms to monitor encrypted speech.
