Senator Ted Cruz's bipartisan effort to pass the Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks (TAKE IT DOWN) Act faced an unexpected hurdle when Senator Cory Booker objected without providing a reason.

It also mandates social media platforms to implement notice and takedown processes.
