    It probably wasn’t legal before either, but this clarifies the law by making it expressly illegal. Without it prosecutors woud obviously make the case that it was illegal, and someone would try and counter that since they were deepfakes that it didn’t count. Hopefully such a defense wouldn’t succeed but this law should preclude someone from even trying it.
