Deconstructing the Take It Down Act

The Take It Down Act targets the kind of material usually called "revenge porn": nude images of people, typically but not necessarily sexual, posted without their consent. The phrase is a little misleading, because revenge is just one of many motivations driving it. A more legalese term, precise but bloodless, is "nonconsensual intimate imagery," or NCII. Whatever it is called, the stories of its victims are heartbreaking. Jealous exes post nude selfie images sent to them by their ex-partners.
