Good afternoon, and welcome to the White House. It's honored to join you here today for the signing of the Take a Down Act, a national victory that will help parents and families protect children from online exploitation. This legislation is a powerful step forward in our efforts to ensure that every American, especially young people, can feel better protected from their image or identity being abused through nonconsensual intimate imagery of I and CII. Artificial intelligence and social media are the digital candy for the next generation. Sweet, addictive, and engineered to have an impact on the cognitive development of our children. But unlike sugar, these new technologies can be weaponized, shaped beliefs, and sadly, affect emotions, and even be deadly. Over the past few months, I have met with brave survivors, deeply loving families, and caring advocates, who know firsthand the emotional and psychological toll of NCII and deepfake abuse. Alison Berry stood boldly for change, despite the risk posed to her and her family by speaking out and making her voice heard. Alison, your voice and the voices of so many like you made this bill a national priority.
