Anti-Deepfake Law Proposal Threatens Memes and Parody
There is a new legislative proposal, the DEEPFAKES Accountability Act, re-introduced by a Democrat, that seeks to criminalize the use of a certain type of generative AI content.
Creators targeted here would be those who fail to label their work as required by the bill, namely, as “malicious deepfakes,” while all content of this kind would have to be labeled regardless.
But terms like “malicious” and “extremely harmful” are vague enough – not to mention requiring the arbiter of “deepfake maliciousness and extreme harmfulness” – that the whole thing could turn into yet another tool of censorship, handy to those who go after memes or parody and happen to forget to label them.
After all, although they are now vilified as the scourge of the internet used only by scammers, those who have political deception or sexual abuse and the like in mind, deepfakes have been around for a long time in entertainment and creative industries in general.
The author of the bill, Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, already tried to get the same proposal through Congress but failed back in 2019. Now, she is speaking about “weaponized deception” and the need to “discern who is intending to harm us.”
Some reports about this proposal note that these days, creating a deepfake does not require much, if any technical skill and can therefore be done by anyone using an app or a website.
(One wonders, will such apps and websites be the next target in the “war on deepfakes.”)

The story, somehow, gets worse. Lanske was then able to walk nearly two blocks while bleeding out and attempted to seek refuge at a 7/11 where the Indian workers would not allow him to come inside. Lanske proceeded to text 911 and his girlfriend and then passed out due to blood loss. While Lanske was unconscious, the prowling Black teens returned and began to film his unconscious body. Two Seattle Police officers arrived and kept him alive until paramedics came. He was rushed into emergency surgery, placed on life support in the Trauma ICU, and then underwent another major operation to reconnect his intestines, which was successful.
Lanske has woken up and is responding in the hospital. His ...
