US President Donald Trump has signed an act Take Down in the law, a measure that on Monday imposes a sanction for online sexual exploitation, also known as “revenge of porn”. The first signature was the signature of the first lady Melania Trump, who helped make the account through the Congress.
“Well, sign it the same way,” the president told his wife. “He deserves to sign it,” he said.
After adding its signature, the President lifted the document to show both their names on the ceremony in the White House Rose Garden. The signature of Melania Trump is only symbolic, because the first ladies are not chosen and do not play any role in the enactment of legislation, reported by the press agency A.
What is “porn revenge”?
It is a type of digital abuse in which naked or sexually explicit photos or videos of a person without their consent are published on the Internet. Photographs or videos that are usually made by a former sexual partner are shared to cause need or embarrassment of a person.
Pictures or videos are often accompanied by personal data about this subject, including their full name, addresses and links to their social media profiles.

Circulation or sharing such photos or videos using text, e-mail, or showing someone a physical or electronic image is also considered a crime.
“Revenge of porn” also includes circulating photos and videos created by artificial intelligence, considered “deep”.
What is considered to be a crime according to the bill?
The bill makes it a federal crime to “consciously publish” or threatens to publish intimate images without the consent of man, including “deep”. A website and social media companies will be required to remove such material within 48 hours after the victim has applied for it. Platforms must also take steps to remove duplicate content, reports AP.
Trump said that by law, “anyone who deliberately distributes explicit images without the consent of the entity will face up to three years in prison. In addition, this law will determine new civil obligations for online platforms that refuse these images immediately on request. We will not tolerate online sexual exploitation.”
Many countries have already banned the spread of sexually explicit deepfakes or porn revenge, but the law is a rare example of federal regulatory bodies depositing on Internet companies, the report said.
Critics say…
A bill presented by Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Received a stunning bipartisan support in the congress and in April passed the house in April 409-2 vote and removed the Senate with unanimous consent, the report said.
However, the measure is not without critics. Defenders of freedom of expression and group of digital rights claim that the bill is too wide and could lead to censorship of legitimate images, including legal pornography and LGBTQ content. Others say that this could allow the government to monitor private communication and undermine the proper process, he added.
