LOS ANGELES: The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) is supporting California Senate Bill 564, which bans the creation and dissemination of digitally created sex scenes and nude performances without consent.
The legislation was introduced by Senator Connie Leyva (D-Chino) with input from SAG-AFTRA – in order to enhance performers’ protections when they are involved in sex scenes and their rights to control their likeness, including digital depictions. The union also said this legislation will give Californians the right to sue creators of “deepfake” pornography or fake sex tapes.
