TAKE IT DOWN ACT HEADS TO TRUMP'S DESK
Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter
The bipartisan Take It Down Act, which will require social media companies to take down content flagged as nonconsensual (including AI-generated) sexual images, is heading to Trump's desk for signature. Some privacy activists are concerned that the takedown will be selectively enforced by the FTC and does not provide enough time for smaller sites to verify the claims correctly, which could be abused to hinder platforms' ability to operate effectively. The bill does not contain exemptions for end-to-end encrypted services such as private messaging and cloud storage.
