“Turning a blind eye to X’s egregious behavior would make a mockery of your moderation
practices,” three Democratic senators wrote to Apple’s and Google’s CEOs.
Were the senators themselves the victims of these deepfakes?
Also, they’re the legislative branch. Why don’t they just create a law to prohibit sexual deepfakes and assess penalties from the companies with tolerance/ambivalence/apathy toward sexual deepfakes?
Are you under the impression that the senators calling for this have any power whatsoever to enact laws? John Thune runs the Senate schedule and he’s a loyalist.
I don’t have faith that such a law could get passed in a timely manner, if at all, with the current leadership. Especially if it would basically single out two of their biggest darlings- AI and Elon.

That would require them to actually do their fucking jobs. Congress nowadays just takes orders from the dictator in office.
