I would have thought that deepfakes are defamation per se. The push to criminalize this is quite the break with American first amendment traditions.
If I understand correctly, this would put any image hoster, including Lemmy, in hot water because 230 immunity is only for civil suits and not federal criminal prosecution.
the text of the bill exempts service providers from any liabilities as long as they make a good faith attempt to remove it as soon as they are aware of its existence. So if someone makes AI generated revenge porn on your instance as long as you take it down when notified, you want be in trouble.
It's not, people know it's a deepfake most of the time and don't claim it's real
It might also be harassment.
If it's not defamation or harassment, then I'm not sure what the problem is. As broad as this is, it looks unconstitutional to me.
