This piece by @lorenaoneil talking to @AOC raises the same facts we’ve been talking about since December.
The vast majority of deepfake videos online – 96% – are of non-consensual sexual material featuring women.

Can victims sue consumers?
I wish I would have known that years ago. I’m a victim, and there are a lot of consumers I would like to sue.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has opened up about her own horrifying experience of becoming the victim of AI-generated deepfake porn — warning that it is “not as imaginary as people want to make it seem.”
What?
The Queens Democrat said she was scrolling through X while talking about legislation with her aides in a car in February when she came face to face with the AI-generated image of herself performing a sex act.
“There’s a shock to seeing images of yourself that someone could think are real,” Ocasio-Cortez told Rolling Stone. “As a survivor of physical sexual assault, it adds a level of dysregulation. It resurfaces trauma, while I’m trying to … in the middle of a f–king meeting.”
The harm from “digitizing violent humiliation” is akin to physical rape, according to the congresswoman.
Hahaha.
“Kids are going to kill themselves over this,” she warmed. “People are going to kill themselves over this.”
Ocasio-Cortez, 34, is spearheading a House version of the Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits (DEFIANCE) Act of 2024, which would make it easier for victims of nonconsensual AI porn to sue publishers, distributors and consumers of X-rated digital forgeries.
She introduced the bipartisan and bicameral bill in March, with Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D–IL), and Senators Lindsey Graham (R–SC), Amy Klobuchar (D–MN) and Josh Hawley (R–MO) throwing their support behind it.
Whoever came up with that acronym deserves some kind of award.
Of course Lindsey Graham and Josh Hawley – the two biggest homosexual Jew-lovers in the Senate – are backing a bill to remove more freedoms from internet users.
These faggots hate the internet and they hate freedoms.
