Melania Trump Advocates for Bipartisan Anti-Revenge Porn Bill on Capitol Hill

Melania Trump traveled to Capitol Hill to advocate for the Take It Down Act, which aims to combat revenge porn by requiring social media platforms to remove non-consensual intimate images within 48 hours of a victim's request.
