The Take It Down Act mandates swift removal of AI-generated explicit content and holds social media platforms accountable.
- The bill, sponsored by Senators Ted Cruz and Amy Klobuchar, aims to combat nonconsensual deepfake pornography.
- Social media companies must remove flagged content within 48 hours and make efforts to delete all copies.
- The Federal Trade Commission will enforce compliance with the new regulations.
- The legislation is a response to the rise in AI-generated explicit images, affecting individuals from celebrities to students.
