The Take It Down Act isn’t a law, it’s a weapon

Congress is advancing the Take It Down Act , which criminalizes nonconsensual intimate imagery ( NCII ) and sets requirements for web platforms to remove it.

The bill has gained support from First Lady Melania Trump, and President Donald Trump touted it during his joint address to Congress on March 4th , promising he would sign it.

The Take It Down Act covers online platforms that allow users to remove harmful content.

Julian Zelizer : If any company that woos Trump can avoid following the law, they've got no legal reason to do the “protecting people from abuse” part.

Zelizer says the law’s platform provisions could be worse than useless.

The Take It Down Act's critics argue that it could add liability for end-to-end encryption.

It would be an issue under any presidency, but in one that’s contemptuous of data privacy, the danger is even more pressing.

Creating a new pretext could mean longer, costlier battles while courts interpret the statute.
