Teen victim pushes to pass Take It Down Act | Morning in America (youtube.com)
1 in 6 female lawmakers have found themselves in unwanted deepfakes, reportedly.
When the girl spearheading this movement started, she found the various authorities and organizations of government didn't really know what to do with her issue, so there was no real path offered. The images were up for 9 months, and they had a warrant for Snapchat, but no results. Finally, her mother got in touch with Senator Ted Cruz and the images were taken down within an hour. She got no message from Snapchat at all in response to her many emails.
The law creates a felony for users who share these images, and it forces the Tech Companies to take down such images within 48 hours.
