With one week left before the congressional session ends, Texas Senator Ted Cruz is pushing a bipartisan bill that would crack down on AI-generated revenge pornography.
The proposal, S.4569, would criminalize publication of nonconsensual sexual images created by superimposing a victim’s face on another body. Websites and social media companies would be required to create procedures to remove the material — known as deepfakes — within 48 hours of notice from a victim.
