Bill > HR7569

This bill, the Disrupt Explicit Forged Images And Non-Consensual Edits Act of 2024 (also known as the DEFIANCE Act of 2024), aims to improve the rights and relief available to individuals affected by non-consensual activities involving intimate digital forgeries. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Defining "digital forgery" as any intimate visual depiction of an identifiable individual created through the use of technology to appear indistinguishable from an authentic visual depiction, regardless of whether it is labeled as not authentic. 2. Allowing individuals whose intimate visual depictions are disclosed without their consent, or who are the subject of a digital forgery, to bring civil actions against the responsible parties for damages and equitable relief. 3. Establishing a 10-year statute of limitations for such civil actions, starting from the date the individual reasonably discovers the violation or turns 18 years old. 4. Preserving the ability of federal, state, and tribal governments to adopt and enforce laws governing non-consensual activities involving digital forgeries, as long as they are at least as protective of victims' rights as this federal law.
