Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act (TAKE IT DOWN Act)

The TAKE IT DOWN Act criminalizes knowingly publishing nonconsensual intimate images, including AI-generated 'digital forgeries', and requires covered platforms to run a notice-and-removal process. Since May 19, 2026, platforms must remove a validly reported image within 48 hours and make reasonable efforts to remove known identical copies.
