MODERATORS
 

THE SENATE UNANIMOUSLY passed a bipartisan bill to provide recourse to victims of porn deepfakes — or sexually-explicit, non-consensual images created with artificial intelligence

The legislation, called the Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits (DEFIANCE) Act — passed in Congress’ upper chamber on Tuesday.  The legislation has been led by Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), as well as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in the House.

The legislation would amend the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) to allow people to sue those who produce, distribute, or receive the deepfake pornography, if they “knew or recklessly disregarded” the fact that the victim did not consent to those images.

Because I don't want to take the time going through every legislative framework I just listed to cite the shitpile of mistakes and revisions or because youve never read the pile of redacted and revised subparagraphs found in every single regulatory legislation? The fact you think it's that simple to compile proof shows you have never read any actual legislative documents. If you want proof, ill list off the top of my head the shit NYS fucked up because Ive read them some what recently:

SAFE Act:

-Original framework had no ban on high capacity magazines because they thought magazines were disposable and as long as they banned the sale the existing HCM's would be phased out.

-Required AR registration with no system to enforce it, then continued to deny all FOIL requests and judicial requests of the number of registered AR's because the turnout was so dismal.

-Issues red flag laws that have no method of enforcement or way of including when a person is a red flag offender on the background check performed at point of sale.

-Added the requirement for pistol permit applicants to have range training but never amended the part of the law that bans anyone from using a pistol without being approved for a pistol permit.

-They couldn't appropriately define imminent danger and had the state supreme court overturn the regulation entirely

Recreational Marijuana: seriously just fuckin google this one. It's so embarrassing how bad they botched the entire thing.

-NYS had millions of dollars of marijuana crops with nowhere to go because they released tons of farming licenses and barely any dispensary licenses.

honestly I'm not taking the time to list all of these. Google it and you will see resounding incompetence.
