The Take It Down Act, a measure that would criminalize the publication of nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfakes, passed the House on Monday and now heads to President Trump's desk.

The measure cleared the House in an overwhelming 409-2 vote, with 22 members not voting. Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Eric Burilson (R-Mo.) were the sole "no" votes.

The bill would make it a federal crime to knowingly post or threaten to publish realistic, computer-generated pornographic images and videos that attempt to show identifiable, real people on social media and elsewhere online.

Trump indicated last month he plans to sign the bill.

"The Senate just passed the Take It Down Act. Once it passes the House, I look forward to signing that bill into law," Trump told a joint session of Congress in early March. "And I'm going to use that bill for myself too if you don't mind because nobody gets treated worse than I do online, nobody."

First lady Melania Trump also came out in support........
