A candidate whose appearance, action, or speech is depicted through the use of a deceptive and fraudulent deepfake may seek injunctive or other equitable relief from the creator prohibiting the publication of such deceptive and fraudulent deepfake. A person in violation of provisions under the act may be subject to certain criminal and civil penalties, as described in the act. The act shall not apply to certain exceptions and media as described in the act. The act is similar to a provision in SCS/HCS/HBs 2628 & 2603 (2024). JULIA SHEVELEVA
