The US government signed a new act into law that has opponents concerned about the ramifications of what it will be used to do. The Take It Down Act was proposed to allow for the rapid takedown of non-consensual intimate images, or NCII, from the Internet. The law requires social media platforms to remove identified content within 48 hours and people convicted of violating the law could face up to three years in prison. What's the catch? According ot the EFF and other freedom organizations, the law has been written so broadly as to let it apply to a broad range of content, including political speech. The law also could be used to pressure companies into weakening encryption and security to allow for easier detection of content being shared. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown.
