The Take it Down Act requires platforms to remove non-consensual content within 48 hours. Critics say it could lead to unnecessary content crackdowns and encourage platforms to avoid encryption.

The Take It Down Act, which seeks to enact stricter penalties for the distribution of non-consensual intimate imagery, sometimes called ‘revenge porn’ online, is heading to President Donald Trump's signature after its bipartisan passage in congress.

First lady Melania Trump strongly advocated for the bill, which makes it illegal to share nonconsensual, sexually exploitative images.
