The US will not pass a law making it illegal to produce or share fake images or videos unless they are marked as fake, through 2033.

“the legislation will not happen in the U.S. because one of the major political parties has tied its fate to the successful propagation of fake news.”

Said on

8 December 2023 · Written interview with The Yomiuri Shimbun, published December 8, 2023, after proposing legislation "making it illegal to produce or share fake images or videos unless they are marked as fake". No window stated; inferred window about 10 years (to end of 2033). Narrow laws such as the 2025 TAKE IT DOWN Act (non-consensual intimate imagery) do not count.
