U.S. Representative from Pennsylvania.
By granting everyone a clear, federal right to control digital replicas of their own voice and likeness, the NO FAKES Act will empower victims of deep fakes; safeguard human creativity and artistic expression; and defend against sexually explicit deepfakes.

AI Verified The exact sentence appears verbatim on the cited Salazar press release dated 2024-09-12, and that page explicitly attributes it to Madeleine Dean (“Rep. Dean said”). Dean’s own official press release from the same date repeats the same wording, confirming the attribution, date, and text.

Disputed The 2024 official press releases on Rep. Salazar’s site and Rep. Dean’s own site do attribute a very similar statement to Madeleine Dean, but the verbatim text continues after “empower victims” with “of deep fakes; safeguard human creativity and artistic expression; and defend against sexually explicit deepfakes.” I did not find the exact shorter sentence ending in “victims.”, so the submitted quote is truncated/altered rather than verbatim.
