If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Democratic senators are broadening the definition of what counts as restricted online content, moving from earlier efforts focused on explicit deepfakes to a new campaign against what they call “non-nude sexualized” material. The new language dramatically expands the category of what can be censored, reaching beyond pornography or criminal exploitation to include images with altered clothing, edited body shapes, or suggestive visual effects. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware led the group of seven Democrats who signed a letter to Alphabet, Meta, Reddit, Snap, TikTok, and X. We obtained a copy of the letter for you here. The signatories — Tammy Baldwin, Richard Blumenthal, Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Ben Ray Luján, Brian Schatz, and Adam Schiff — are asking for records that define how each company classifies and removes this type of content, as well as any internal documents or moderator guidance about “virtual undressing” and similar AI edits. “We are particularly alarmed by reports of users exploiting generative AI tools to produce sexualized ‘bikini’ or ‘non-nude’ images of individuals without their consent and distributing them on platforms including X and others,” the senators wrote. “These fake yet hyper-realistic images are often generated without the knowledge or consent of the individuals depicted, raising serious concerns about harassment, privacy violations, and user safety.” Their argument rests on reports describing AI tools that can transform photos of clothed women into revealing deepfakes or fabricate images of sexualized poses. The senators describe this as evidence of a growing “crisis of image-based abuse” that undermines trust and safety online. But the language of the letter goes further than earlier initiatives that targeted explicit content. It introduces a much wider standard where mere suggestion or aesthetic change could qualify as “sexualized.” The call to prohibit “altered clothing” or “body-shape edits” effectively merges real abuse prevention with subjective judgments about appearance.

The likely result is that automated moderation systems, already known to misclassify satire or art, will increasingly suppress harmless or expressive images. The senators’ request, framed as a matter of safety and dignity, and capitalizing on recent headlines, moves the boundaries of acceptable online expression further into the realm of interpretation rather than clear evidence of harm.

The wife of an NFL legend is looking to unseat a Democrat in a district that has long been controlled by the left-wing party.The congressional seat, NJ-09, is held by Democrat Nellie Pou, who won by less than 5% of the vote in 2024.'Congresswoman Nellie Pou has a charmed life.'The district has been held by Democrats since the early 1980s, but that is not scaring off Tiffany Burress, a Pittsburgh native. Pittsburgh is also where her husband, former wide receiver Plaxico Burress, spent the first part of his NFL career, playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers.Plaxico won the Super Bowl with the New York Giants in 2008, beating the undefeated New England Patriots led by Tom Brady, 17-14. The former Michigan State star caught the game-winning touchdown pass from quarterback Eli Manning.According to the New York Post, Mrs. Burress serves on the Workers' Comp committee of the New Jersey State Bar association, has been recognized as for her work as an attorney, and is a former college athlete at Penn State.The seat she hopes to win also includes MetLife/Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where the Giants play.RELATED: Ketanji Brown Jackson still can’t define ‘woman,’ yet rewrites sex law Photo by Johnny Nunez/WireImage "Congresswoman Nellie Pou has a charmed life. Fifty years on the government dime, never had a private sector job. In 1997, doors started opening," Burress said in her campaign ad, which alleged that Pou has been gifted all her government roles.Burress said that while doors opened for Pou, she herself has "busted through them," on top of being willing to call out Republicans when they are wrong.The campaign for Rosie Pino, who is also running as a Republican, told Fox News Digital that Pino is the "only proven winner in this race.""Supporting an unknown, untested, out-of-touch candidate who does not reside in the district and changed her party affiliation a few weeks ago just to run for office, would be the political equivalent of shooting ourselves in the leg — dividing the Republican Party and forfeiting the opportunity to hold the critical House Majority," said Pino spokesman Kennith Gonzalez.RELATED: Police shoot New Jersey man who allegedly charged them with machete — then find gruesome scene inside his home Democrat support for the N.J. seat has lessened over the years; Democrats won with 74% of the vote in 2012 and remained around 70% until 2020.That year, incumbent Democrat Bill Pascrell (now deceased) won with just 65.8% of the vote, and that number dropped to 55% in 2022.In 2024, Pou won with just 50.8% of the vote; the leading Republican got 45.9%.At the same time, the district has voted heavily for Democrats in federal elections — until 2024.In 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020, at least 59% of voters in NJ-09 chose the Democrat presidential nominee. In 2024 however, Trump won the district 49% to 48%.As it stands, New Jersey's state Senate is majority blue, with 25 seats held by Democrats and 15 by Republicans.Like Blaze News?
