The Balanced Voice with Rania Mankarious

Ep. 127 | From Victim to Voice - Elliston Berry & Anna McAdams


Listen Later

Rania and Jenn sit down with Anna McAdams and her daughter, Elliston Berry, to share a powerful and deeply personal story.


At just 15, Elliston became the victim of an AI-generated deepfake, an explicit, fake image created from her Instagram.


What began as a devastating violation has since turned Elliston and Anna into courageous advocates for change.


Their fight helped spark national attention, reaching the White House, Capitol Hill, and Congress, and played a key role in the passing of the “Take It Down Act," a new law that holds tech platforms accountable and gives victims a path to justice.
