Victims of 'deepfake porn' and 'doxing' could gain right to sue twill
SPRINGFIELD -- Victims of"deepfake porn" and"doxing" would have a legal pathway to sue their perpetrators in Illinois under a pair of digital privacy measures that have so far received unanimous support in the General Assembly.
"It is absolutely critical for our laws to evolve with the changing nature of the cyber world," bill sponsor Sen. Julie Morrison, a Lake Forest Democrat, said in a news release."This legislation provides a necessary solution to the dangerous practice of doxing, by both helping victims and deterring future bad actors."
Angela Inzano, policy and advocacy strategist for ACLU Illinois, said the organization is concerned the definitions would allow individuals to file suit even if the information is shared privately or already publicly available. HB 2123 would add"intentionally digitally altered" sexual images to the existing law. It also expands the remedies in the existing law to allow a court to grant the victim temporary restraining orders and injunctions ordering the defendant to cease publication of the images in question.
Edly-Allen said in an interview that the bill is a first step in a broader conversation about the impact of evolving technologies like artificial intelligence. She said she hopes to work with others in the legislature to hold a hearing on the subject later this year.
