U.S. Take it down act

[SexyAsianBitch]

The House of Representatives almost unanimously passed the Take It Down Act, which makes it a federal crime to publish intimate visual depictions of people, whether real or artificially generated, without their consent.

Any violations, are punishable by prison time, a fine, or both. Additionally, the legislation also requires public-facing online forums to set up some kind of system where the subjects of these images can request that they be removed. And once someone reports the photos, the platforms are required to remove them within 48 hours.

If enacted, this would mark the first law in the US that explicitly aims for non-consensual intimate imagery or NCII. And it's just a matter of when, not if this is gonna go into effect because the Senate had already passed the measure back in February. And El Comandante Rudeman's indicated that he plans to sign the bill, which has been championed by his wife as part of her Be Best campaign against cyberbullying.

I’m MONTHS late replying to this, but I have to ask, what does this mean for FCN? By this I mean, those who take someone else’s uploads and reshares them in other rooms? I’m only asking because I’m not aware of any pre-existing rule within FCN that stipulates any action taken by FCN if a user were to be reported for “stealing” someone’s photos.
