THE SENATE UNANIMOUSLY passed a bipartisan bill to provide recourse to victims of porn deepfakes — or sexually-explicit, non-consensual images created with artificial intelligence.

The legislation, called the Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits (DEFIANCE) Act — passed in Congress’ upper chamber on Tuesday.  The legislation has been led by Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), as well as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in the House.

The legislation would amend the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) to allow people to sue those who produce, distribute, or receive the deepfake pornography, if they “knew or recklessly disregarded” the fact that the victim did not consent to those images.

      There are plenty of creators with a lot of content they’re happy to sell - why not patronize someone that actually appreciates your business?

      If the only thing holding back your misery was Taylor Swift deepfake porn, have you considered therapy?

      Oh no, you can’t sexually exploit a 34 year old woman who has been outspoken about how traumatizing perverts like you are anymore without consequences.

      Cry me a fucking river, future rapist.
