Melania Trump campaigns against revenge porn

This also applies to images created with artificial intelligence, where, for example, the face of an ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend is transferred to a person in a porn movie.
Pressure on social media companies
Trump referred to a 15-year-old girl in attendance who had been the victim of such an AI-generated porn clip. Although the family had asked social media companies for help, the clips had continued to be distributed worldwide. The family's pleas had fallen on deaf ears.
The widespread abusive behavior in the digital sphere is affecting the daily lives of children, families and communities, Trump criticized.
The bill, called the "Take it Down Act", is intended to force the major platforms to remove revenge porn from their sites. According to Republican Senator Ted Cruz, it was approved by the Senate three weeks ago and will now go to the House of Representatives. Cruz and Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar had introduced the bill.
