What it requires

  • Do not use deepfake material against a student enrolled in kindergarten through grade twelve with the intent to coerce, harass, intimidate, or maliciously disseminate or sell the material.
  • The prohibition binds every student, faculty member, member of the administrative staff, and other employee at an elementary or secondary school.
  • Material is a deepfake when it is audio or visual media in an electronic format, created, altered, or digitally manipulated so that it would falsely appear to a reasonable observer to be an authentic record of an individual's actual speech or conduct, or when it replaces an individual's likeness with another individual's.
