The House passed the bipartisan Take It Down Act, aiming to criminalize the nonconsensual distribution of explicit photos and videos, encompassing AI-generated deepfakes.
The act mandates that online platforms remove such content within two days of notification.
The bill passed the Senate unanimously in February and enjoys President Trump's support, making it likely to be signed into law.
This legislation represents the first internet content law passed by Congress since 2018, focusing on revenge porn and deepfakes but seen as a larger step toward regulating internet companies.
Senator Amy Klobuchar stated that she discussed the bill with President Trump and the first lady, influenced by stories of families affected by the harm caused by such images.
The Act is a significant development in regulating online content, bringing together conservatives and liberals in addressing concerns about online safety and the spread of harmful material.
