WASHINGTON—Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) on June 18 introduced legislation that would require sites to take down artificially generated pornographic images of real people, often minors.
“Now, almost instantaneously perpetrators can use an app on their phone to create fake, explicit images depicting real people, commonly referred to as ‘deepfakes’,” Mr. Cruz said at a press conference. “Disturbingly, this is increasingly affecting, and targeted at minors, and particularly young girls.”
