The “Take It Down” Act, recently passed by the Senate and pending approval in the House, aims to combat the distribution of non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) by establishing a notice-and-takedown system for online platforms.
However, critics argue that the bill’s broad definitions and lack of safeguards could lead to misuse, enabling powerful individuals to pressure websites into removing lawful content they find objectionable.

During a recent address to Congress, President Trump expressed strong support for the “Take It Down” Act, stating his intention to use it personally to address negative content about him online. He remarked, “I’m going to use that bill for myself too if you don’t mind, because nobody gets treated worse than I do online, nobody.” This statement has intensified fears that the Act could serve as a tool for political figures to suppress dissent and criticism, rather than solely addressing the serious issue of NCII.
