Were the senators themselves the victims of these deepfakes?

Also, they’re the legislative branch. Why don’t they just create a law to prohibit sexual deepfakes and assess penalties from the companies with tolerance/ambivalence/apathy toward sexual deepfakes?

That would require them to actually do their fucking jobs. Congress nowadays just takes orders from the dictator in office.

Are you under the impression that the senators calling for this have any power whatsoever to enact laws? John Thune runs the Senate schedule and he’s a loyalist.
