Advisory to social media intermediaries to identify misinformation and deepfakes:Deepfake has emerged as a serious threat to democracy and social institutions across the world. These laws address the intent to intimidate, bully, threaten, or harass individuals through social media, email or other electronic communications. These laws do not solely target AI generated deepfakes but broadly cover any deceptive, manipulative audio or visual images created with malicious intent that falsely depict individuals without their consent.
