Deepfake Liability Act

This bill changes federal law that shields online services from liability for content posted by users. Under the bill, a service would keep that legal shield only if it has a reasonable process to address cyberstalking and intimate privacy violations, including preventing them where practicable, handling removal requests, preserving data for court cases, and removing content a court finds unlawful. It expands the TAKE IT DOWN Act so that public websites and apps must remove reported cyberstalking content and intimate images shared without consent, including sexually explicit fake images, within 48 hours of a valid request. It also treats content made using a generative model as content created by the service that used it, and directs the Federal Trade Commission to write rules within 180 days.
