Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Laurel Lee (R-FL) sponsored a news conference on January 22, 2026, with celebrity advocate Paris Hilton and others to urge House action on the Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits, or DEFIANCE Act. The bill, which would improve rights to relief for individuals affected by non-consensual activities involving intimate digital forgeries, unanimously passed the Senate a week earlier.
