The Take It Down Act (Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act) is a United States law signed by President Donald Trump in May 2025 that criminalizes the non-consensual distribution of intimate images, including deepfakes and other digital forgeries, and mandates swift removal of such images from online platforms by legal requirement.

The Take It Down Act is widely seen as a major legislative step forward for safeguarding victims of image-based sexual abuse and regulating deepfake technology, with strong bipartisan support and significant implications for digital platforms dealing with user-generated content.[2][7][5]
