US EditionBill criminalizing deepfake revenge porn passes House, heads to Trump’s desk
- The U.S. House passed the Take It Down Act on April 28, 2025, criminalizing nonconsensual intimate imagery online, including AI-generated deepfakes.
- The legislation arose from growing concern over cases like Texas teenager Elliston Berry’s AI-altered nude image and bipartisan efforts led by Senators Cruz and Klobuchar.
- The bill requires platforms to remove flagged content within 48 hours, holds distributors accountable with penalties up to three years in prison if minors are involved, and gained strong tech and advocacy support.
- Critics, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, warn the law’s broad language and swift takedown mandate risk censoring legal content and pressuring automated filters to remove protected speech.
- President Trump is expected to sign the bill at the White House soon, marking a rare bipartisan measure aimed at addressing the harms of nonconsensual sexual imagery online.
