Deepfakes / Synthetic Content
Pub. L. 119-12 — criminalizes nonconsensual intimate 'digital forgeries' (AI deepfakes) of adults and minors and requires covered platforms to remove them within 48 hours; the statute names 'artificial intelligence' in its operative digital-forgery definition
Verbatim text:
“'Digital forgery' [is an intimate visual depiction] created through the use of software, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or any other computer-generated or technological means … indistinguishable from an authentic visual depiction.”
Open primary source: TAKE IT DOWN Act, Pub. L. No. 119-12, 139 Stat. 55 (2025) (platform notice-and-removal at 47 U.S.C. § 223 / § 223a note (Communications Act of 1934 § 223), FTC-enforced under the FTC Act (15 U.S.C. § 57a); criminal provisions at 18 U.S.C. §§ 2252, 2256, 2264; the borrowed 'intimate visual depiction' definition is from 15 U.S.C. § 6851)

Individual Redress
Pub. L. 119-12 — the 48-hour platform notice-and-removal process plus mandatory criminal restitution and forfeiture give nonconsensual-intimate-image / deepfake victims a targeted remedy; narrow to one harm domain and FTC-enforced with no private right of action
Editor rationale: Incidental redress within a content-crime statute, not a horizontal AI-redress regime; the absence of a private right of action keeps it implicit, not governs.
