Protect Victims of Digital Exploitation and Manipulation Act of 2025

This bill would change federal criminal law to ban creating or sharing “digital forgeries” of intimate images or videos of real people who can be recognized. In plain terms, it targets deepfake-style, edited, or AI‑generated intimate content that falsely shows someone in a private way.

Key points

• Who is affected: People harmed by fake intimate images, and anyone who makes or distributes them.
• What changes: Federal law would prohibit the production and distribution of digital forgeries of intimate visual depictions of identifiable individuals.
• Why it matters: Aims to protect privacy and reduce exploitation from fake intimate content online and offline.
