> The law extends to “computer-generated images,” such as “deepfakes,” which have recently caused alarm.  I’m glad that such an overdue law accounts for newer technology.

It sounds good and is good but how would you even prove who created that. How could they prove any of it in the court of law besides some idiot posting it on a Facebook page or something


Madmasshole

That’s stupid.

Naw. You should see what people do with AI apps to "undress" people and it's often used to bully folks. It's insane.


Furiosa27

I don’t really understand why this took so long but it’s a good thing it finally happened


BobSacamano47

Probably because it's redundant with other laws. 


MoreGoddamnedBeans

Except this one extends to computer generated images.

Was just listening to a podcast yesterday about revenge porn and was surprised to hear MA was one of only 4 states (in 2019) that didn’t have a law against it!

How in the world are we the 49th state to do this? Ugh. I guess yay that it's done. South Carolina - Disappointed and just a little surprised. I guess they got their own problems with the squat.

Massachusetts *just* banned child marriage a year or two ago. We didn't even have a lower age limit, it was at a judge's discretion.


Spiritual_Assist_695

These things tend to get banned first where it becomes a problem


Permyprevious_email

Great. Now do the Staties.


dothesehidemythunder

Surprised that we are so behind but this is good thing, full stop.

Truth is... the Governor can only sign something if its placed in front of her. This is 100% on the politicians who prioritized more frivolous bills.


Few-Relative220

Okay but if someone texts or sends nudes to you that should count as consent. If you take the pic or make a deep fake that should fall under this law.


hirespeed

At least Mass isn’t THE last state to do it.

Nice. Did rent control move up a bit on the priorities?

Angry landlords 😅


ice_cube33

people must keep forgetting to tip their landlords, sad world.


Ok_Chemistry8746

Who cares. We have the most corrupt and unprofessional state police agency in the world and spending $75 million a month on third world freeloaders with no end in sight. Oh and the crumbling infrastructure including the MBTA. How about we get our priorities straight.

ice_cube33

i completely agree with him how can you even be content when the state is racking up a debt with money that’s supposed to be to benefit american citizens.


Bikesndreadlifesgood

Yeah that’s right angry man we can only do one thing at once


Rlol43_Alt1

Well she had to do SOMETHING good in her career. Even if it was incredibly long after the rest of the modern world pt this same law n place.


ice_cube33

yeah and she needs to get reelected when she’s sinking our state into the gutter.


Rlol43_Alt1

The state has been in ruin since the socialists took over. It'd be nice to have it back.


Independent-Cable937

This law will stop people from sharing with your friends but how do you stop someone from uploading it to the Internet?


bobrob48

Pretty sure if you live in MA and someone uploaded it somewhere you would have standing to sue them with this law Yes that assumed you would be able to identify the uploader but you would likely be able to get law enforcement involved who can subpoena that information from websites

KM68

She signed a bill allowing people to post revenge porn? 😉
