Prohibits deepfake pornography and imposes criminal and civil penalties for non-consensual disclosure.

This New Jersey bill (S 976) prohibits the non-consensual creation and distribution of deepfake pornography depicting intimate acts or exposed body parts without the person's consent. It makes distributing such deceptive media a third-degree crime, with potential fines up to $30,000, and applies specifically to images falsely appearing to show someone engaged in sexual activity. The law directly affects individuals whose private images are used without consent in fabricated content. Key provisions define "deceptive audio or visual media" and include limited exceptions, such as retail fitting room photos with posted notice, but criminalize unauthorized sharing online or otherwise.
