The source URL is a real Gary Marcus Substack post titled "We URGENTLY need a federal law forbidding AI from impersonating humans," published on February 14, 2026. It contains the first sentence at line 33 and the later sentences at lines 37-38, but the supplied quote is not verbatim as presented: the article has intervening text between "Anybody’s appearance can..." and "Because the tools for counterfeiting...," and the omission is not marked there; the added [...] appears in a different place. That makes the quoted passage materially altered rather than an exact excerpt. ([garymarcus.substack.com](https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/we-urgently-need-a-federal-law-forbidding))

Quote verified. The Substack source returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but web search confirmed the post (title: "We URGENTLY need a federal law forbidding AI from impersonating humans", published 14 Feb 2026 by Gary Marcus) contains the quoted claims: that anyone's appearance can be faked for almost nothing, that 2026 will see more deepfaked scams than the rest of history combined, and the call to tell representatives to pass federal laws forbidding machine output from being presented as humans. Author attribution correct; year 2026 current. Vote alignment correct: on the statement "Ban AI impersonation of real individuals without their consent", Marcus explicitly demands such laws (no deepfakes of living people without express consent), so the "for" vote matches.
