First Lady Melania Trump promotes the "Take It Down" Act

Melania Trump: "I am here with you today with a common goal: to protect our youth from online harm.

The widespread presence of abusive behavior in the digital sphere affects the daily lives of our children, families, and communities.

Addressing this issue is essential for fostering a safe and supportive environment for our young people.

I hope today’s roundtable helps raise awareness about the harm caused by the dissemination of non-consensual intimate imagery and, eventually, the approval of the "Take It Down" bill in Congress.

In today’s AI-driven world, the threat to privacy is alarmingly high. As organizations harness the power of our data, the risk of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information increases.

We must prioritize strong security measures and uphold strict ethical standards to protect individual privacy.

As First Lady, my commitment to the "Be Best" initiative underscores the importance of online safety.

In an era where digital interactions are an integral part of daily life, it is imperative that we safeguard children from mean-spirited and harmful online behavior.

Ensuring their protection is not just a responsibility but a vital step in shaping the leaders of the future."
