The Take It Down Act is in full effect. Now what?

About this episode

The episode discusses the enforcement of the Take It Down Act and how tech firms are responding to it.

Enforcement of the Take It Down Act began last month. If tech firms don’t comply and take down non-consensual intimate images — AI-generated or not — within 48 hours of being notified, they face financial and criminal penalties. Lauren Feiner is a senior policy reporter at The Verge, who’s been writing about the law. She walked us through how platforms have been responding.
