The congress says goodbye to Deepfak pornography Bill, Trump expected he to be signed

April 29, 2025 by admin

The Take IT Down act has a top priority for First Lady Melania Trump. President Trump is expected to sign the legislation.

A legislative template for the criminalization of explicit images or “Deepfakes” is led to President Donald Trump's desk on the desk after they have gone through both congress chambers with almost unanimous approval.

The Take IT Down Act enjoyed unusual support for two -party support and an important confirmation from First Lady.

“It is heartbreaking to testify to young teenagers, especially girls, with the overwhelming challenges of malicious online content such as Deepfakes,” said Melania Trump during a rare public appearance on the Capitol Hill on March 3, to lobby legislation.

Deepfakes are photos, videos or audio that have been changed or created by artificial intelligence to appear real, often without the topic of the consent of the media. Many of the pictures are manipulated to put people into compromising situations, show them that appear inappropriate or put them in places that could trigger controversy or embarrassment. The pictures have become a great reason to explosion the AI technology.

For the newly posted invoice, technology platforms must remove “non -matters of sexually exploitial images” registered within 48 hours of receiving a valid request. Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minnesota, introduced legislation in August.

Failed explicit images by pop star Taylor Swift circulated last January on social media, which caused fans and widespread demands to become increased regulation.

At that time, USA Today was able to identify 10 countries that prohibited DeepfaK pornography such as the representations of Swift. At that time there was no federal equivalent like the Take It Down Act.

Global celebrities are not the only goals of attacks by AI-generated attacks: Each of eight teenagers says that he personally knows someone who is sacrifices of explicit deeper victims, as from a report in March by Thorn, a non-profit organization that works for the safety of online children.

One of the victims, the high school Elliston Berry, was a loud advocate of the Take It Down Act next to the First Lady.

Berry was 14 when a classmate used AI to share her face on a bare body for Photoshop and the false digital images on social media. The Texas Teenager in Aledo joined Melania Trump as a special guest for the annual joint address of the president on the congress on March 3. and the day before for the Capitol Hill note of the First Lady.

“Fear, shock and disgust were just a few of the many emotions that I felt,” said Berry, then 15, at the event on March 3. March. “I felt responsible and began to accuse myself and was ashamed to tell my parents even though I didn't go wrong.”

The Senate passed the Take IT Down Act in February with unanimous approval. The house followed on April 28th and approved it 409-2.

President Trump is expected to sign the legislation.

“Today's cross -party passage of the Take it is a strong statement that we are united to protect the dignity of protecting our children's privacy and security, Melania Trump said in an explanation.
