Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz and Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar co-sponsored the legislation, and First Lady Melania Trump later supported it.
Meta, which owns and operates Facebook and Instagram, supports the legislation.
The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a tech industry-supported think tank, said in a statement following the bill’s passage last month that it “is an important step forward that will help people pursue justice when they are victims of non-consensual intimate imagery, including deepfake images generated using AI.”
