U.S. Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is calling for the passage of a bill that would make it easier for the victims of nonconsensual AI porn to sue the publishers, distributors and consumers of fake X-rated images and videos.
Ocasio-Cortez, along with Democratic Women’s Caucus Policy Co-Chair Ayanna Pressley, held a roundtable discussion earlier this week about the harms that sexually-explicit deepfake pornography can do and how legislation can empower victims to seek justice. The bogus porn has swept the internet in recent years, and women and girls are typically the targets.
