We support this bill because it broadens the law criminalizing the use of deepfakes [...]. AI-generated deepfakes are a here-and-now threat to our elections.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote clearly states support for the bill as a whole: 'We support this bill,' and it specifically ties that support to criminalizing deepfakes in the electoral context by calling AI-generated deepfakes 'a here-and-now threat to our elections.' That establishes support for the complete statement. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 4d ago

AI Verified The quote explicitly says, "We support this bill" and justifies it because it "broadens the law criminalizing the use of deepfakes," calling them "a here-and-now threat to our elections." · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 4d ago

Verification History

AI Verified Verified: the official Public Citizen article and its linked PDF, both dated March 10, 2025, identify the testimony as 'From: Adrian Shelley' and contain both quoted sentences verbatim. The [...] omission is faithful: it skips the intervening clause explaining that the bill adds images, an intent requirement, and removes the 30-day timing rule.
