Paris Hilton Reframes Sex-Tape Incident as Abuse, Pushes AI-Content Protections

TL;DR
Paris Hilton testified on Capitol Hill in support of the bipartisan DEFIANCE Act, describing the 2004 release of a private sex tape without her consent as abuse rather than a scandal and highlighting the lack of protections at the time; the bill would empower victims to sue creators and distributors of AI-generated explicit content. Hilton spoke about lasting trauma from the incident and announced her forthcoming documentary Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir, underscoring the need to protect women from similar harm online.
