US President Donald Trump signed the 'Take It Down Act' into law yesterday, aiming to combat the spread of unwanted AI-generated deepfakes and revenge porn. The new law standardizes penalties across states, offering clearer protections for victims.

Heavier punishments are now in place for distributing intimate images without consent, with offenders facing up to three years in prison. Social media platforms must remove such content within 48 hours of a victim's report.

The law has broad bipartisan support, with only two House members opposing it. High-profile victims like Taylor Swift and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were not mentioned during the signing, though their cases highlight the issue's severity.
