House passes bill aimed at protecting victims of deepfake and revenge porn
The US House of Representatives on Monday passed the “Take It Down” Act, which aims to protect Americans from deepfake and revenge pornography.

Bill criminalizing deepfake revenge porn passes House, heads to Trump’s desk
The Take It Down Act, a measure that would criminalize the publication of nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfakes, passed the House on Monday and now heads to President Trump’s desk.

House overwhelmingly passes 'Take it Down' bill that criminalizes deepfake revenge porn
The House of Representatives on Monday overwhelmingly passed the bipartisan "Take It Down Act," which seeks to federally criminalize the publishing of computer-generated porn images and videos out of revenge and without consent.
The Senate passed the measure, which was cosponsored last month by Texas GOP Senate Commerce Chair Ted Cruz and Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and President Donald Trump has promised to sign the legislation.
A deepfakes bill is flying through Congress. Critics say it’s flawed.
A bill to address AI “deepfake” nudes, revenge porn and other sexually abusive imagery online looks increasingly likely to become the year’s first big new internet law.
The Take It Down Act would make it a crime to post nonconsensual intimate imagery (NCII) and require online platforms to quickly remove it when flagged.
Convicted Defamers at CNN Lecture About 'Era of Deepfakes' Under Trump
In CNN's buildup to the Trump inauguration on Monday, anchor Jake Tapper uncorked a lecture about how five Big Tech executives in attendance “control so much of the information that we receive.”
Was that a warning? Or an expression of jealousy? The leftist media hate that the American people have gone around them for information, and they can’t help but bitterly complain that when Republicans win, people have chosen “misinformation” over the golden chalice of information that is CNN.

What started with a spoof of a campaign ad has led to a critical question: Do new California laws meant to crack down on election-related deepfakes also ban memes and satire?
Measures signed into law in September by Gov. Gavin Newsom were designed to limit the use of artificial intelligence in political ads and help keep voters from being duped by manipulated media.
California deepfake ban blocked by judge
Californnia’s new law against “deepfake” political ads, which impersonate a candidate and misrepresent the candidate’s views, violates the constitutional right of free expression, a federal judge said Wednesday in a ruling blocking enforcement of the law. The law, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sept. 17, was a response to videos posted by a conservative producer, and publicized by billionaire Elon Musk, that showed Vice President Kamala Harris appearing to say, in an artificially generated voice, that she was the “ultimate diversity hire” to run for president. Supporters said the...

The California Legislature, which is controlled by Democrats, is voting on hundreds of bills during its final week of the session to send to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk. Their deadline is Saturday.
California to Ban Deepfakes, Regulate AI
The California state legislator just closed out its current session by passing a massive raft of new bills and sending them to Governor Gavin Newsom's desk for final approval. The majority of the legislation is just the usual housekeeping and budgetary requirements, but a couple of the bills merit further attention. One of these is a proposed ban on election "deepfake" videos and images. The other would mandate additional regulation of the artificial intelligence industry and seek to protect human jobs and careers that are currently being endangered by this...
