The House passed a bill Monday evening that would criminalize using a person’s likeness to create nonconsensual deepfake pornography.
The Take It Down Act sailed through the chamber on a vote of 402-2, marking one of the first major pieces of legislation passed by Congress to address AI-generated deepfakes.
The bill makes it a federal crime to publicize nonconsensual imagery of others, both real and AI-generated, and requires companies to remove any images hosted or shared on their platforms within 48 hours of receiving notice. It also empowers the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and enforce compliance.
A version of the Take It Down Act has already passed the Senate, and is now just a presidential signature away from becoming law.
