President Donald Trump signed the Take It Down Act into law at a Rose Garden ceremony, a significant piece of legislation championed by First Lady Melania Trump. The act aims to enhance online safety for children by requiring social media platforms to swiftly remove harmful content, such as explicit images or videos, upon request. It also mandates stricter age verification processes and imposes fines of up to $500,000 for non-compliance. The law addresses the rising concern of cyberbullying and exploitation, with 2024 data showing a 30% increase in reported cases of online child exploitation. The administration highlighted that the act will empower parents and guardians with tools to report harmful content, aiming to create a safer digital environment. The signing event underscored the White House’s commitment to prioritizing child protection in the digital age.
