Does this act apply to things that are not nudity? It seems like the definition of “intimate physical depiction” would pretty much restrict it to that.

- whatshisface 2y agoThe EFF explains the issue better than the linked article: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/02/take-it-down-act-flawed-attempt-protect-victims-will-lead-censorship https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/02/take-it-down-act-flawe... In particular, it's an encryption ban: >The online services that do the best job of protecting user privacy could also be under threat from Take It Down. While the bill exempts email services, it does not provide clear exemptions for private messaging apps, cloud storage, and other end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) services. Services that use end-to-end encryption, by design, are not able to access or view unencrypted user content. How could such services comply with the takedown requests mandated in this bill? Platforms may respond by abandoning encryption entirely in order to be able to monitor content—turning private conversations into surveilled spaces.
