First lady Melania Trump will advocate legislation to regulate deepfakes during a meeting on Capitol Hill Monday, her first solo engagement since returning to the White House.

Ted Cruz (R-TX), in the last Congress and reintroduced at the beginning of the current Congress. The legislation would make it a crime to publish “non-consensual intimate imagery” and require websites and social media platforms to remove offending content as part of an effort to curb so-called “deepfake pornography.”
