In this episode I share about the Take it Down Tool and Take it Down Act. The TIDA is a pivotal piece of legislation designed to combat the devastating impact of non-consensual intimate imagery including deep fake porn. It makes it a federal crime to knowingly publish these images, compels online platforms to remove the images in 48 hours and solves the problem of inconsistent state laws. Though legislation is still working on the many legalities of these tools/services, I think we are all in agreement that it is a step forward in safeguarding individuals from the trauma and violation with non-consensual sharing of intimate images.

Situational awareness is crucial for social awareness because it allows individuals to accurately perceive and interpret nuances of social contexts, enabling them to respond appropriately.

In this episode I explain more about situational awareness and how to build strong situational awareness skills as well as the importance of social awareness skills to be developed right alongside with situational awareness.

After you have listened to this episode you will want to be more present in life and attentive to your social surroundings. You will understand that personal safety is at risk if you are not living in the moment and being undistracted.
