Congress is moving on the DEFIANCE Act to crack down on AI deepfake porn today, January 22, 2026, while the Supreme Court’s June 27, 2025 ruling upholding Texas’s age verification law reshaped how adults access explicit content online. That makes a seasoned insider like Candice Horbacz, who has been publicly arguing for ethical safeguards like paywalls and informed consent, the voice you want breaking this down right now.
She has been speaking out recently about the harms of free, frictionless porn and the need to protect minors without trampling adult privacy, a perspective that lands differently when it comes from someone who built a career in the industry and now hosts tough conversations on her own show. Putting her on Citizen this week turns headline policy into real world stakes for families, creators, and platforms.
Candice has been on Citizen before, including January 6, 2025 and June 23, 2025, where she dug into censorship fights and biological sex differences, so the rapport and context are already there. If you care about how new laws and AI are rewriting sex, speech, and privacy, back this nomination today.
