The Take It Down Act: Victims of Revenge Porn and Deepfakes Now Have More Protection
The internet has opened up amazing ways for people to meet, date, and be themselves. But sadly, it’s also given bad people new ways to hurt, take advantage of, and humiliate others by sharing private photos and videos without permission, or even creating fake images and videos that look real using special computer programs.
A major step forward has arrived with the passage of the Take It Down Act, legislation designed to help victims remove non-consensual intimate images from online platforms.
At BonePage, we support this effort.
What Is the Take It Down Act?
The Take It Down Act provides people who have had intimate photos or videos shared without their consent with more ways to get this content taken down. This means they can ask for the removal of these images or videos that were shared without their permission, giving them more control over what happens to their private content.
This includes:
Revenge porn
Non-consensual intimate photos
AI-generated deepfake sexual images
Digitally altered explicit content designed to impersonate real people
The goal is simple: give victims a faster and more effective way to regain control when private or fabricated intimate images are distributed online.
Consent Matters
There’s a huge difference between content that adults agree to and exploitation that’s not okay.
When grown-ups decide to share things about themselves online, that’s up to them.
When someone shares private photos without asking, sends out revenge porn, or makes fake explicit pictures of someone else, that’s just not okay. It’s a big deal and can really hurt people.
Consent is the foundation of any healthy adult community.
Without consent, there is no ethical justification for sharing intimate content.
BonePage’s Position
We support the rights of adults to connect, date, flirt, and express themselves freely.
However, we do not support:
- ❌ Revenge porn
- ❌ Non-consensual intimate imagery
- ❌ AI-generated deepfake pornography targeting real individuals
- ❌ Harassment, blackmail, or extortion involving intimate content
- ❌ Any content involving minors
We support consensual interactions between adults and believe every individual deserves control over their own image and personal privacy.
The Rise of AI Deepfakes
Artificial intelligence has made it easier than ever to create realistic fake images and videos.
In some cases, people have discovered explicit images of themselves circulating online despite never participating in the creation of the content.
These deepfakes can damage reputations, careers, relationships, and mental health.
The Take It Down Act is a law that says people who have fake sexual videos or pictures made of them using artificial intelligence should get the same help as those who are victims of regular revenge porn.
Technology should be used to connect people, not weaponized against them.
Protecting Yourself Online
Laws can be helpful, but it’s still crucial to be careful and take steps to protect yourself.
- Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication.
- Be cautious when sharing private images.
- Report unauthorized content immediately.
- Document evidence before requesting removal.
- Avoid sharing intimate content with individuals you do not trust.
If someone shares private photos or videos of you without your permission, or creates fake content that looks like you, don’t wait – get help right away. There are people and tools that can assist you in reporting and removing this harmful content.
How to Request Content Be Taken Down
If someone shares private photos or videos of you, or even fake ones made with artificial intelligence, without asking you first, there are things you can do about it.
- Save screenshots and the page URL as evidence.
- Request removal from search engines if it appears in search results.
- If you’re being threatened, harassed, or blackmailed, contact law enforcement.
- Report the content directly to the website hosting it.
- Learn more about your rights under the Take It Down Act and use available reporting resources to help remove the content.

We are firmly against things like revenge porn and deepfakes – any kind of intimate content that’s shared without consent. What we do support is content that’s been willingly shared by adults, 18 and over, who have given their full consent. We think it’s really important that everyone has control over their own image and privacy – it’s a basic right, and we’re committed to upholding it.
Standing Up for Privacy and Personal Choice
At BonePage, they think that grown-ups should have the freedom to make their own decisions when it comes to dating, relationships, and being themselves.
That freedom also includes the right to say no.
It’s really important that people’s private lives are respected. Nobody should have personal photos or videos shared without their permission. And it’s just not right for someone to be targeted with fake pictures or videos that are made using artificial intelligence. Privacy should never be used to hurt or blackmail them. Everyone deserves to feel safe and in control of their own personal information.
The Take It Down Act represents an important step toward protecting victims while reinforcing a principle that should never be controversial:
Consent matters. Privacy matters. People deserve control over their own image.
Even with all the changes technology brings, some things stay just as important as they’ve always been.
