Take It Down Act: A United Effort by Both Political Parties to Fight Revenge Porn and Help Victims.

Congress has said yes to a new law. It will punish people who share private pictures without permission. This law is called the Take It Down Act. President Trump is likely to sign it soon.

Senators Ted Cruz and Amy Klobuchar made the bill. Melania Trump also liked it. Some people think the law is too wide and could stop free speech. The law covers real and fake pictures made by computers.

The law says it is wrong to share private pictures without asking. This includes fake pictures made with AI. Websites must take down the pictures in two days if someone asks. Many states already ban revenge porn, but this law is for all of the US.

Melania Trump helped get the law passed. She said it hurts teenagers when people share their private pictures. She wants to protect them. Cruz said a girl's story made him want to make the law.

Some people think the law is too broad. They worry it could stop people from sharing legal pictures. They also think it could stop people from criticizing the government. A group called EFF said the law could be used to take down pictures by mistake.
