CBA Seeks Amended Language to Intimate Deepfakes Bill

On Monday, April 21^st, Justin Sasso, representing the members of the CBA testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Senate Bill 25-288, “Intimate Digital Depictions Criminal & Civil Actions.”

The proposed legislation would have allowed broadcasters to be held civilly and criminally liable for the broadcast of a deepfake or AI created intimate image. While broadcasters are required to uphold community standards of decency and are highly unlikely to ever knowingly air a non-consensual or obscene image, broadcasters still air a wide range of content produced by networks, advertisers, or other third parties.

The CBA requested amended language to SB25-288 protecting broadcasters who didn’t create the content, didn’t know it was an unauthorized fake, and who take it down quickly upon notification. The amendment was adopted helping to avoid putting pressure on stations to reject legitimate third-party content out of fear of accidental liability.

Polis vetoes CORA bill

Writing that “all legitimate requests for public transparency” under the Colorado Open Records Act “should be treated equally under the law,” Gov. Jared Polis on Thursday vetoed a bill that gave government entities more time to respond to requests made by the public and businesses but kept deadlines the same for journalists.

The governor criticized Senate Bill 25-077 for creating “three classes of open records requests that are subject to different timelines: those made by mass media, those made for pecuniary gain, and all other requests.”
