## Transcript

I'm here with you today with a common goal to protect our youth from online harm. The widespread presence of abusive behavior in the digital domain 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 builds awareness of the harm caused by non-consensual intimate imagery and eventually, the approval of the Takedown Act bill in Congress. As First Lady, my commitment to the Be Best initiative underscores the importance of online safety. In an era where digital interactions are integral to daily life, it is imperative that we safeguard children from mean spirited and hurtful online behavior.

Ensuring their protection is not just a responsibility, but a vital step in nurturing tomorrow's leaders. It's heartbreaking to witness young teens, especially girls, grappling with the overwhelming challenges posed by malicious online content like deepfakes. This toxic environment can be severely damaging. We must prioritize their well-being by equipping them with support and tools necessary to navigate these hostile digital landscape. Every young person deserves a safe online space to express themselves freely without the looming threat of exploitation or harm. I was heartened to learn that Senator Cruz and Senator Klobuchar united to prioritize these fundamental matter.

I must admit, however, I expected to see more Democrats leaders with us here today to address this serious issue. Surely, as adults, we can prioritize America's children ahead of partisan politics. I urge Congress to prioritize the passage of the Take It Down Act bill. This legislation is essential for addressing the growing concerns related to online safety. Protecting individual rights and promoting a healthier digital environment by advocating this bill. Congress can take an important step towards ensuring accountability and fostering responsible online behavior. The Take Down Act Bill represents a powerful step toward justice, healing, and unity.

Thank you.
