Klobuchar: House Bill Places Criminal Responsibility to People Creating Deepfake and Revenge Porn on the Internet

EXCERPT:

KLOBUCHAR: “It’s a big deal because it’s the first dent when it comes to some of this horrific content, whether its fentanyl or whether its porn, over 20 kids committed suicide in one year, Anderson. They sent their photo to who they thought might be a girlfriend or a boyfriend, and then it gets broadcast to their school. Or it’s an A.I.-created fake porn. So, what happened here is this bill says in 48 hours, the platforms have to take it down, and it puts responsibility — criminal responsibility on the people that put it out there. So, this is a bill that I actually brought up to the First Lady at the Inaugural Lunch, and she embraced it. And Senator Cruz and I had gotten it through the Senate several times now. And now it just — it passed the House. So, it’s going to get signed into law.”
