"The Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits Act (DEFIANCE Act), would let victims sue the individuals who created the images for civil damages. The bill passed with unanimous consent - meaning there was no roll-call vote, and no Senator objected to its passage on the floor Tuesday. It's meant to build on the work of the Take It Down Act, a law that criminalizes the distribution of nonconsensual intimate images (NCII) and requires social media platforms to promptly remove them."
"X owner Elon Musk has shrugged off blame onto the individuals prompting Grok, writing, "Anyone using Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content." But even after pushback, X continued to let users prompt Grok to virtually strip people down. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), a lead sponsor of the bill, referenced Grok's nonconsensual undressing in remarks on the Senate floor."
The Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits Act (DEFIANCE Act) would let victims sue individuals who created deepfaked sexually explicit images for civil damages. The bill passed the Senate with unanimous consent, meaning no roll-call vote and no Senator objected to its passage. The DEFIANCE Act is designed to build on the Take It Down Act, which criminalizes distribution of nonconsensual intimate images (NCII) and requires platforms to promptly remove them. The measure targets creators of nonconsensual AI images while other laws address distribution and platform responsibilities amid global regulatory responses to AI-enabled image abuse.
