New federal legislation aims to combat the publication of non-consensual deepfakes and mandates notice-and-removal procedures for covered platforms.
Key Points:
- The legislation requires online services that primarily feature user-generated and curated content (such as social media platforms) to develop and implement notice-and-removal procedures within one year.
- Criminal liability appears to be aimed at end users that post intimate visual depictions or digital forgeries to internet platforms, rather than the platforms themselves.
