[1]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress

Content warning: this email discusses online harassment via digital
forgeries of pornography.

As AI technology sharpens, deepfake images and videos have become more
realistic — and more commonplace — in our daily lives.

Studies show that nearly 96% of deepfake videos contain pornographic
imagery of women — all of which is created non-consensually.^1

So Alexandria worked closely with abuse survivors to introduce the Disrupt
Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits (DEFIANCE) Act of 2024. If
passed, victims could sue anyone who ‘knew or recklessly disregarded’
their consent when they created, shared, or received the deepfake
pornography.

Alexandria put it simply: “How we answer these questions is going to shape
how all of us live as a society for decades.”

[ [link removed] ]Alexandria came to Congress to legislate in a new way: by really
centering everyday people and the policies that benefit their lives. If
you can, will you contribute $5 today so that she can stay
in Congress to keep working for working people and not special interests?

The DEFIANCE Act would amend the Violence Against Women Act, and has been
endorsed by more than 20 organizations, including the National Women’s Law
Center, the National Domestic Violence Hotline, and the Sexual Violence
Prevention Association.

Just last month, Alexandria was named to the bipartisan House Task Force
on Artificial Intelligence, where she will work to optimize AI innovation,
while protecting the country from emerging threats in the new technology.

Alexandria has been the target of disturbing online harassment for years,
but isn’t afraid to hold those causing harm to account.

progress?
