Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-n.Y.) is reintroducing her bill to provide civil recourse for survivors of nonconsensual sexually-explicit deepfakes.
Ocasio-Cortez is co-leading the bicameral bill with Rep. Laurel Lee (R-Fla.), Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-s.C.).

The bipartisan legislation currently has nine co-sponsors and will be reintroduced today in both the Senate and House.
