The Take It Down Act: A Weaponized Tech Regulation in the Trump Era?
2025-03-07
Congress is advancing the Take It Down Act, aiming to combat nonconsensual intimate imagery (NCII). However, the article argues that under the Trump administration, this act could become a weaponized tool. The Trump administration has a history of using laws as bargaining chips, targeting political opponents while exempting allies.

The author posits that laws passed by Congress are more like weapons than actual laws, ultimately harming the public.
