Bill > H3366

This bill seeks to protect against the use of "deep fakes" - audiovisual records that have been created or altered to falsely appear authentic - to facilitate criminal or tortious conduct. The bill creates a new criminal offense, punishable by a fine or imprisonment, for those who create or distribute such deep fakes with the intent to facilitate unlawful activities. The bill includes an exception to ensure that the law does not infringe on activities protected by the Massachusetts Constitution or the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
