Ocasio-Cortez reintroduces bill to empower AI deepfake victims
- On May 21, 2025, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez led the reintroduction of the bipartisan DEFIANCE Act to help victims of AI-generated explicit deepfake imagery seek legal recourse.
- This action follows the recent passage of the TAKE IT DOWN Act, which addressed nonconsensual distribution of intimate images, reflecting growing concern over rising deepfake abuse targeting women and minors.
- The DEFIANCE Act would allow survivors to take civil action against those who knowingly create or share sexually explicit AI-manipulated media, building on previous legislation and gaining support from lawmakers of both parties.

- This legislation aims to empower victims legally and signals increased bipartisan momentum to combat digital sexual abuse and hold offenders accountable amid expanding AI-generated deepfake threats.
