Congress Passes Bill To Ban Online Revenge Porn And Unauthorized Sexually Explicit “Deepfakes”


Donald Trump is expected to sign the legislation.

President Donald Trump is expected to sign a bill heading to his desk that bans the publication of non-consensual images, including revenge porn and AI deepfakes. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), lead sponsor of the Senate bill with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), said in a statement, “We must provide victims of online abuse with the legal protections they need when intimate images are shared without their consent, especially now that deepfakes are creating horrifying new opportunities for abuse.” Cruz said, “By requiring social media companies to take down this abusive content quickly, we are sparing victims from repeated trauma and holding predators accountable.” She called its passage “a powerful statement that we stand united in protecting the dignity, privacy, and safety of our children.”
