Latest action on S. 146: Became Public Law No: 119-12.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people whose private sexual images or realistic sexual deepfakes are shared online without consent. It also affects websites, apps, and online services that host user posts. People accused of posting or threatening to post this content could face federal charges. The Federal Trade Commission can enforce the platform takedown rules, including against some nonprofit groups.
Why this matters: This matters because private sexual images and deepfake sexual images can spread fast and cause lasting harm. The law gives victims a federal path for criminal cases and faster removal from many platforms. It also pushes websites and apps to build clearer reporting tools. Courts and agencies will still have to decide how some flexible terms work in real cases.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
