Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a>, D-N.Y., praised the late Sen. Lindsey Graham for backing legislation that would allow victims of nonconsensual AI-generated deepfake pornography to file civil lawsuits.<\/p>\n

The DEFIANCE Act, a bill Ocasio-Cortez and Graham collaborated on, passed the Senate<\/a> in January by unanimous consent with Paris Hilton previously speaking in support of it.<\/p>\n

Graham, who died Saturday after seemingly suffering an aortic tear<\/a>, was typically a political foe of the Democratic Socialist. The two disagreed vehemently on foreign policy, with Graham supporting a strong U.S. military presence around the world and Ocasio-Cortez frequently advocating for cuts to the defense budget.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, she said Graham was “instrumental” in getting the DEFIANCE Act through the Senate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Senator Graham and Senator Hawley as well were instrumental in securing bipartisan support for this legislation to protect kids, women, everyone from nonconsensual AI-developed porn,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a brief interview<\/a> with The Independent’s Eric Michael Garcia outside the Capitol.<\/p>\n

She added that the House version, which is substantively the same as the Senate version, has yet to advance past the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan<\/a>, R-Ohio.<\/p>\n

“So when it comes to the House, I think we just gotta ask Jim Jordan,” Ocasio-Cortez said.<\/p>\n

The legislative record<\/a> shows that the DEFIANCE Act was referred to the House Judiciary Committee on May 21, 2025, the same day Ocasio-Cortez introduced the measure.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Jordan and Hawley’s offices for comment.<\/p>\n

The bill, if passed, would allow victims who have been nonconsensually depicted in AI deepfake porn to file civil actions in federal district court.<\/p>\n

If a victim wins their case, a court could award punitive damages or other forms of relief, including a temporary restraining order or an injunction requiring the defendant to delete, destroy, or stop displaying or disclosing the material.<\/p>\n

The bill would allow victims to recover $150,000 in liquidated damages, or $250,000 if the conduct was connected to actual or attempted sexual assault, stalking or harassment, or directly caused such conduct.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
