Bill would create state task force to tackle unsolicited sexual imagery, deepfake porn

Jennifer Tisdale currently has all her social media set to private. If someone wants to interact with her on Twitter or Instagram, she must explicitly allow it. The Crofton-based entertainment writer wasn’t always so guarded about her web presence. In fact, three years ago, she went viral on Twitter for a post about receiving an unwanted photo of someone’s genitals. The former stand-up comic made a joke out of the situation, but the experience didn’t just inspire new material, she said — it led her to take action. Tisdale reached out to Del. Lesley Lopez, a Montgomery County Democrat, and on Thursday, she testified in support of Lopez’s bill that seeks to punish cyberflashing in Maryland.
