NO FAKES Act stalls on the Senate floor
Cassandra CampbellEditor
The main federal bill protecting your voice and likeness from AI replicas passed committee unanimously in June, then hit an objection on the Senate floor on September 30. Senator Cruz says he supports it but wants tighter free speech protections around parody first.
Why it matters
This is the bill that would give creators a federal right over their own face and voice. Until it passes, state laws and platform tools are doing most of the work.
The story so far
The Senate Judiciary Committee approves the bill unanimously.
Senator Cruz objects on the Senate floor, citing parody protections.
