Deepfake porn bill allowing victims to sue passes Senate

The Senate passed legislation Tuesday to allow victims of nonconsensual deepfake pornography to sue the producers and distributors of such content.

The proposal was put forward by Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) on the Senate floor for unanimous consent, and is co-sponsored by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
