HB38

Louisiana HB38 amends the definition of child sexual abuse materials to include deepfakes.

Louisiana HB38 modifies the definition of child sexual abuse materials to include deepfakes, which are audio or visual media created, altered, or manipulated to falsely appear authentic. This change aims to address the evolving nature of child exploitation by explicitly including deepfakes in the legal definition. The bill also excludes certain materials from the definition if they have political, public interest, or newsworthy value, or if they include clear disclosures that they are not real events.
