How Trump's new deepfake 'Take It Down Act' empowers US schools to safeguard students from digital abuse

President Trump signed the "Take It Down Act" on May 19, 2025, empowering US schools to tackle the rising issue of AI-generated deepfakes and non-consensual intimate imagery. The law mandates social media platforms to remove such content within 48 hours and criminalizes the creation and sharing of these images. Schools now have stronger tools to protect students from digital abuse, with increased responsibilities for prevention, education, and victim support, as reported by EducationWeek.
