President Donald Trump signed the Take It Down Act into law on Monday, creating harsher penalties for those who distribute non-consensual intimate imagery online. It's legislation that First Lady Melania Trump has thrown her support behind, lobbying for the bill back in March in her first solo public appearance since her husband has been back in office. The Take It Down Act has received widespread bipartisan support, with several states, including Florida, creating their own legislation to combat what's known as "revenge porn." What is the Take It Down Act? The Take It Down Act makes it a federal crime to “knowingly publish” or threaten to publish intimate images without a person’s consent, including AI-created “deepfakes.” Websites and social media companies will be required to remove such material within 48 hours after a victim requests it. The bill was sponsored by Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) It passed the U.S. House in April with a 409-2 vote and unanimously cleared the Senate before President Trump gave his final approval on Monday. Florida bill combating fake intimate images Florida HB 757 prohibits people from generating, possessing or promoting sexual images — including AI-generated ones — without the consent of the person depicted or with the intent to harm the person depicted. The bill would make it a second-degree felony to possess these sexual images with the intent to distribute them. It would make it a third-degree felony to knowingly solicit or intentionally view these images. There are additional child pornography penalties if the person depicted in the actual or simulated images is a minor. The Florida House passed the bill on April 23, with the Senate passing it the next day. It's awaiting Gov. Ron DeSantis' signature. If DeSantis signs HB 757 into law, it will take effect on Oct. 1, 2025. Among the supporters of the bill is Florida teen Lucy Adams Stevenson. Her photos were altered into explicit images using AI. She said the person who notified her about the images was arrested but not the person who created them — prompting her to speak with Florida lawmakers. Critics of the legislation, however, argue that it's too broad and could lead to the censorship of legitimate images, including legal pornography and LGBTQ+ content.
