Melania Trump went to Capitol Hill on Monday to lobby for a bill that
would make it a federal crime to post intimate imagery online, whether
they are real or AI-created, without an individual’s consent and
require technology companies to swiftly remove such content.
It was her first solo public appearance since she resumed the role of
first lady on Jan. 20.
The first lady said it was “heartbreaking” to see teenagers and
especially girls grapple with the fallout after they become the
targets of malicious and sexually explicit online content. She called
on Congress to prioritize the well-being of young people.
“This toxic environment can be severely damaging. We must prioritize
their well-being by equipping them with the support and tools
necessary to navigate this hostile digital landscape,” she said during
a roundtable discussion about the “Take It Down Act” at the U.S.
Capitol.
“Every young person deserves a safe online space to express themself
freely, without the looming threat of exploitation or harm,” she said.
