Prohibits deepfake pornography and imposes criminal and civil penalties for non-consensual disclosure.
This bill prohibits the non-consensual creation and distribution of deepfake pornography (realistic fake videos or images that appear to show someone engaging in sexual activity they didn't actually participate in). It makes it a crime to create or share such content without consent, with penalties ranging from 3-5 years in prison and $15,000 fines for general deepfakes to 10-20 years in prison and $200,000 fines for deepfakes involving children. Victims can pursue civil claims for $1,000 per violation plus additional damages. The law updates existing privacy and child pornography statutes to address technology that wasn't covered when those laws were written, applying to anyone who creates, shares, or distributes deepfake content without consent.
