Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote supports a federal legal protection when a real person's image or voice is used without consent, which clearly implies support for prohibiting AI impersonation of real individuals without their consent. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 17d ago

AI Unverifiable The quote supports 'a Federal right' for cases where someone's 'image and voice are used without their consent,' but it does not explicitly mention AI impersonation or a ban. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 17d ago

AI Verified The official Congress.gov transcript for Senate Hearing 118-581, dated April 30, 2024, records Senator Blumenthal saying, "I believe that there ought to be a Federal right for people whose image and voice are used without their consent," so the quoted text appears verbatim in the source URL. An official Senate page identifies him as Richard Blumenthal, so the attribution and year are correct.
