New federal law forces platforms to delete deepfakes within 48 hours
The Deepfake Liability Act, signed into law in May 2025, forces covered platforms to set up a 48‑hour notice‑and‑removal process for non‑consensual intimate images and AI‑generated deepfakes. Critics warn the broad language could swamp sites with frivolous claims and strain free‑speech protections. Platforms now face legal duty of care or risk liability under the amended Section 230.
