Google, X, and Discord are called out in a letter from senators for not doing enough to address the problem of non-consensual explicit images online. The letter criticizes several tech companies for not participating in programs that allow people to request the removal of such content from the internet. The programs, which are voluntary, have participation from other major internet companies. The letter comes as lawmakers and tech leaders face increasing pressure to combat non-consensual sexual images, especially with the rise of AI-generated content. The senators urge the companies to join programs that help remove explicit images and videos.
