Senate Passes DEFIANCE Act Protecting Victims
|
9.2
The Senate passed the Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits Act (DEFIANCE Act) by unanimous consent on Tuesday, creating a federal civil remedy for people whose likenesses are used in sexually explicit AI-generated images without consent. The bill allows victims to sue creators for damages and builds on the Take It Down Act’s platform-focused provisions, potentially increasing legal exposure for individual creators and prompting House consideration.
Scoring Rationale
Strong congressional action addresses nonconsensual deepfakes, but the bill still requires House passage before becoming law.
