Former First Lady Melania Trump led a Capitol Hill roundtable advocating for the Take It Down Act, a bipartisan bill aimed at criminalizing the spread of non-consensual intimate images and deepfake pornography. The legislation, co-sponsored by Senators Ted Cruz and Amy Klobuchar, would require online platforms to remove flagged content within 48 hours.
Melania Trump criticized Democrats for not attending the event, stressing that protecting children from online exploitation should be a nonpartisan issue. Victims shared emotional testimonies about the harm caused by AI-generated explicit content, reinforcing the urgency of passing the bill.
