Child safety shield

On May 19, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed the TAKE IT DOWN Act into law—a major milestone in the fight against child sexual exploitation online. This law requires the removal of non-consensual images, including AI-generated deepfakes, within 48 hours of a victim’s request. Together with our partner Skyll, Safe Surfin’ is actively deploying technology to support and enforce this new law.

This legislation empowers victims with a clear path to reclaim their digital safety and dignity, while holding platforms accountable for harmful content.
