People could face federal charges for making or sharing realistic fake sexual images of someone without clear consent. The penalty could be a fine, up to 5 years in prison, or both.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Protect Victims of Digital Exploitation and Manipulation Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Latest action on H.R. 2564: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people whose faces, bodies, or identifying details are used in fake sexual images without consent. It also affects people who make, edit, post, or share those images. Online platforms, email services, carriers, and other communication services may need to handle reports carefully, because they have some legal protection but not total protection.
Why this matters: Fake sexual images can harm a person’s privacy, safety, job, reputation, and mental health. This bill would give federal law enforcement a specific tool for those cases. It could also affect how online services respond when users report this content. The real impact would depend on how often prosecutors use the law and how courts read its key terms.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
