Denmark moves to give people legal control over deepfake likenesses

Denmark has proposed an amendment to its Copyright Act banning the sharing of realistic deepfakes of people's faces and voices without consent. Platforms would be required to remove manipulated content quickly, with exceptions for caricature, parody and satire.

• Copyright Act amendment bans deepfakes without a person's consent
• Platforms must quickly take down manipulated content
• Exception covers caricature, parody and satire unless it causes serious harm
• Measure also protects performers from AI imitation of their work
