Impersonating a person, living or dead, could absolutely be a law. It's pretty simple. It's the same with all consent. Do you enthusiastically consent to me beating the shit out of you? If the answer is yes, then let's goooooo. If the answer is no, then I'll remove your restraints and wish you well. It's not fucking hard.
Nothing in law is simple. Legislators pass a law and after it passed that meat grinder it eventually gets brought up in courts where a second sausage is made by evaluating whose rights take precedence over others. And if we imagine the current US Supreme Court they will not ban deepfakes completely because it could limit the first amendment. And they would probably find in favor of the sad smelly asshole in his basement who made deepfake porn that was never meant to be public. So the creation of deepfakes will not be limited by law. The system can only react after the creation. By which point the damage is already done for the celebrity whose likeness was abused.
Right now it might be possible to get the companies to limit the models that can generate this stuff. But soon enough, maybe in a few years, it will be possible to train you own model on your terms that will run locally and if you're savvy enough to set that up you'll be savvy enough to sidestep any restrictions there as well.
Don't impersonate without enthusiastic consent will not survive the tour up the legal system.
Aha. That explains all the rape kits that got unprocessed every year.
No, it doesn't. Because I was not talking about physical sexual assault.
I don't understand people who misunderstand basic consent.
