For Cyber Civil Rights Initiative & others who have been sounding the alarm on the evolution of image-based abuse, it is deeply meaningful to see the White House acknowledge that "the first real harms" inflicted by AI are the sexual exploitation of women and girls. apnews.com/article/ai-dee…

We appreciate the @WhiteHouseGPC calling for the tech industry "to step up and make voluntary commitments" to address and prevent AI image-based sexual abuse while also emphasizing that this "doesn’t change the underlying need for Congress to take action here." Cyber Civil Rights Initiative

The Cyber Civil Rights Initiative welcomes the bipartisan Senate legislation introduced today that would criminalize the distribution of sexually explicit digital forgeries (deepfakes) & also provide victims with a civil remedy thehill.com/homenews/senat…





The Cyber Civil Rights Initiative is grateful to all of the victims, survivors, advocates, policymakers, and legislators for their tireless efforts over the last decade to protect Massachusetts residents from this life-destroying form of abuse. @WhiteHouseGPC

Breaking: The Senate has just passed the SHIELD Act! Cyber Civil Rights Initiative is grateful to Senators Amy Klobuchar & Senator John Cornyn for their bipartisan sponsorship & we hope the House will act quickly to finally prohibit the unauthorized distribution of intimate images at the federal level.

That's the Stopping Harmful Image Exploitation & Limiting Distribution Act - the bill Cyber Civil Rights Initiative has been calling on Congress to pass for nearly a decade! Now on to the House!

The SHIELD Act is based on a model statute Dr. Mary Anne Franks wrote over a decade ago. She and her colleagues have been fighting for this for a long time. For more context, here's a story I wrote last year: washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

Center for Democracy & Technology Cyber Civil Rights Initiative "Leading private sector companies, civil society organizations, and researchers are announcing a set of voluntary principles to combat IBSA in an effort led by Center for Democracy & Technology, Cyber Civil Rights Initiative, and NNEDV."
