Melania Trump supports controversial anti-deepfake bill

On Monday, First Lady Melania Trump expressed her support for the TAKE IT DOWN Act, which targets deepfakes.Deepfakes are AI-generated videos and images. Many created are nonconsensual explicit images using someone's likeness. Last year, for example, explicit deepfakes of Taylor Swift went viral on X, but it's not just celebrities who are in danger of being deepfaked. Everyday people (typically women) are, too, and being a victim of deepfakes can be detrimental to someone's mental health.SEE ALS
