SIIA Supports Durbin’s Deepfake Porn Bill

Congress should pass a bill from Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., that would establish a right for victims of deepfake porn to sue violators, the Software & Information Industry Association said in a letter to congressional leaders Tuesday. SIIA voiced support for passing more than a dozen bills during the remainder of the 118th Congress. The list included the Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits (Defiance) Act, which the Senate approved unanimously in July (see 2407240021).
