DEFIANCE Act of 2024 is a Senate bill in Congress.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people whose face, body, or likeness is used in fake sexual images or videos without consent. It could also affect people who make, request, store, or share those fakes, including online actors and services that handle this content. Courts would also have new rules for damages, privacy, and removal orders in these cases.
Why this matters: AI tools make it easier to create fake sexual images that can seriously harm real people. This bill would give victims a clearer federal path to seek money and court orders when that happens. It could help with privacy, safety, work, reputation, and mental health harms. Its full effect is still uncertain because it depends on how often victims sue and how courts apply the new rules.

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.
