SB 1142: Digital Dignity Act.
The Digital Dignity Act aims to protect individuals from false impersonation and defamation in the digital age. It subjects individuals who distribute content with a digital replica to liability for crimes involving false impersonation and civil actions for defamation. The act requires online platforms to implement mechanisms that allow users to revoke access to their digital replicas at any time. This includes maintaining records for 90 days in case of a court order. The city attorney or attorney general can bring civil actions to enforce these provisions, seeking civil penalties and injunctive relief.
