This bill makes it a federal crime to produce or distribute deepfake intimate images of real people without their consent. Violations carry penalties of up to 5 years in prison and fines. The law applies to anyone who acts with reckless disregard and uses interstate or foreign commerce to spread such images, and covers cases involving U.S. citizens as victims or perpetrators. The bill includes exceptions for good-faith reporting to law enforcement, legal proceedings, medical purposes, and investigations of unlawful content, and generally shields communications service providers from liability unless they knowingly distribute such material. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the legislation.
