Paris Hilton calls for passage of Defiance Act: ‘Deepfake pornography has become an epidemic’
The DEFIANCE Act, supported by Paris Hilton and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, would allow victims to sue creators and distributors of nonconsensual AI deepfake pornography for up to $150,000.
- On Jan. 22, 2026, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Paris Hilton held a bipartisan press conference at the U.S. Capitol urging House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA, to bring the DEFIANCE Act to a vote with support from Rep. Laurel Lee, R-Fla., and other lawmakers.
- After reports that Grok generated 3 million sexualized images over 11 days, the Center for Countering Digital Hate estimated over 23,000 involved children, prompting probes in California, the European Union, Australia, and India.
- The bill would create a federal civil right allowing victims and survivors of nonconsensual AI-generated deepfake pornography to sue creators and seek damages up to $150,000.
- Sponsors say they are pressing leadership as House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA, signals support and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., reports positive talks amid time constraints.
- Paris Hilton argued that `What happened to me then is happening now to millions of women and girls in a new and more terrifying way`, emphasizing survivor harm amid calls for urgent AI deepfake protections.
