Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Lindsey Graham did not agree on much before the South Carolina Republican died suddenly. But earlier this year, Graham helped usher a bill known as the DEFIANCE Act, which the progressive New York Democrat sponsored in the House, through the Senate via unanimous consent.
The bill, which AOC co-sponsored with Republican Rep. Laurel Lee of Florida, would allow victims of nonconsensual deepfake AI pornography to file civil lawsuits against people who produce, distribute and solicit that type of pornography, as well as those who intend to distribute such images. It sailed through the Senate with zero objection.
