Bill Summary

This resolution urges Congress to enact the "Preventing Deepfakes of Intimate Images Act", which is pending before the House of Representatives as H.R. 3106. H.R. 3106 makes it a crime to intentionally disclose, or threaten to disclose, a digital depiction that has been altered using digital manipulation of an individual engaging in sexually explicit conduct and creates a right of private action for victims to seek relief. Congress is respectfully urged to enact H.R. 3106, in order to prevent the emotional, psychological and reputational harm that can result from the production or distribution of digital forgeries of intimate digital depictions of identifiable individuals.

AI Summary

This resolution urges Congress to enact the "Preventing Deepfakes of Intimate Images Act" (H.R. 3106), a proposed federal law addressing the growing problem of deepfake technology, which involves digitally manipulated images or videos that appear authentic. The resolution highlights the increasing prevalence of non-consensual pornographic deepfakes, particularly those targeting individuals without their permission, and specifically notes a recent incident at Westfield High School where male students allegedly created manipulated images of female students. The proposed legislation would make it a federal crime to intentionally disclose or threaten to disclose digitally altered images depicting individuals engaging in sexually explicit conduct, and would provide victims with a legal right to seek relief. By defining key terms such as "consent" and "intimate digital depiction," the bill aims to create a clear legal framework to protect individuals from the emotional, psychological, and reputational harm caused by these digital forgeries. The resolution calls on Congress to pass this legislation to address existing legal gaps and provide comprehensive protections against the misuse of advanced digital manipulation technologies.
