It's worth reading the bill, S.146.[1] It's Ted Cruz's bill, and it passed the Senate last year, but too late in the session to go to the House. Seems to be the same bill this session.
It's structured much like DMCA takedown, but with no safeguards. There's no way to challenge a removal and force a put-back, as there is with the DMCA.
There's no penalty for making a false claim.
There's both a civil forfeiture provision, and criminal provisions. If it had roughly the same terms as the DMCA [2] it wouldn't be so bad.
It only applies to images, at least. If you run a site that allows uploading content, for compliance purposes it might be useful to have a classifier recognize any pictures which include administration officials and blank them out.
