Senate passes a bill that would let nonconsensual deepfake victims sue

The passage of the DEFIANCE Act reflects a growing recognition of the harms caused by deepfake technology, particularly in the realm of sexual exploitation. By enabling victims to seek legal recourse, the Senate is not only empowering individuals but also sending a strong message about the importance of consent in the digital age. However, the effectiveness of this bill will largely depend on its implementation and the willingness of courts to uphold these new rights.
