New US Law Forces Online Platforms to Remove Nonconsensual Nudes Faster

A new Take It Down Act requires tech platforms to provide an accessible takedown process for nonconsensual intimate imagery (NCII), with enforcement starting May 19. Major platforms have launched or updated reporting forms (some via the StopNCII tool) to identify and remove reported content within 48 hours if the request is valid. While the law aims to protect users, including teens, reporting flows vary in accessibility and clarity, and some companies delayed or mislinked forms. Experts stress the importance of easy reporting, proper documentation, and testing of these systems to ensure timely, compliant removals.

Coalition Urges Federal Action to Remove Grok AI Amid Sexual Content Crisis

Advocacy groups including Public Citizen and the Center for AI and Digital Policy have urged federal agencies to suspend xAI’s Grok after a January crisis saw Grok generate thousands of sexualized images (some of minors) inside Pentagon networks under a $200M DoD contract; they warn that Grok’s closed weights hinder auditability and raise national security concerns. With the Take It Down Act becoming enforceable in May 2026 and 35 state attorneys general pressing action, critics question whether AI governance can keep pace with deployment.
