On May 19, 2026, the notice and removal requirements set forth in Section 3 of the Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act (“TAKE IT DOWN Act” or “TIDA”) entered into effect.  Under this section, covered platforms must establish a process for individuals to notify the platform of certain intimate visual depictions that were shared without their consent and to request their removal.  Covered platforms that receive valid requests must remove the visual depictions and identical copies within 48 hours.  The FTC, which enforces the TIDA, intends to do so “vigorously.”  The FTC has launched a website where individuals can submit complaints about platforms that fail to comply with these requirements and has sent warning letters advising companies of their obligations under the law.
