The NO FAKES Act, intended to combat misinformation from generative AI, has transformed into a potential detriment to free speech and innovation. The act introduces a wide-reaching intellectual property right, inadvertently federalizing image licensing. The most recent revisions require online platforms to adopt stringent censorship protocols that could suppress legitimate speech, requiring takedowns of content with minimal oversight. This includes not only the removal of alleged infringing images but also targeting the tools used for creation, further complicating the online landscape and potentially harming creative expression.
The NO FAKES Act mutates from targeting misinformation to harming speech and innovation by imposing broad new intellectual property rights that could stifle creativity.
The updated bill requires internet gatekeepers to adopt mandatory censorship systems with overbroad filtering standards, endangering legitimate expression like parody and satire.
Rather than providing crucial protections for speech, the NO FAKES Act federalizes an image-licensing system, complicating the landscape of internet free expression.
This legislation threatens to create barriers for innovation by holding creators of image-generation tools accountable for unauthorized uses, rather than focusing on harmful misrepresentation.
