Occurrences
Representatives Nathaniel Moran ... reintroduced the bipartisan, bicameral Curbing Online Non-Consensual Sexually Explicit Nudity Transfers (CONSENT) Act to prohibit the nonconsensual sharing of intimate images across social media platforms and dating apps.
Evidence
The enacted law amends federal communications law to prohibit intentional publication of nonconsensual intimate visual depictions and includes "digital forgery" content created through software, machine learning, or artificial intelligence.
Assessments
The policy outcome was substantially achieved in Nathaniel Moran's current federal term when the TAKE IT DOWN Act became law on May 19, 2025, prohibiting intentional publication of nonconsensual intimate visual depictions and covering AI-generated digital forgeries. That said, the available evidence ties the enacted measure primarily to other lawmakers rather than showing Moran as a lead sponsor or a clearly material driver of passage. Given the candidate-credit rule, this supports partial rather than full delivery: the promised policy was enacted in the same term, but Moran's personal role in delivering that exact outcome is not strongly established by the record provided.
