Overview

The TAKE IT DOWN Act aims to combat the nonconsensual online publication of intimate visual depictions, both authentic and digitally created. It requires certain online platforms, known as ‘covered platforms,’ to promptly remove such depictions upon receiving a notification from the subject. The bill establishes a process for individuals to request removal and prohibits the intentional threat of publishing such depictions, with penalties including restitution and potential criminal charges. It also defines key terms like ‘digital forgery’ and outlines exceptions for legitimate investigative activities and certain disclosures.

Key provisions

Requires covered platforms (websites, online services, etc.) to establish a process for individuals to request removal of intimate visual depictions.
