Additionally, despite the fact that there isn't any current legislation, there's support in favor of new legislation to criminalize video manipulation with an intent to slander (known as a "deepfake"). https://uwm.edu/free-speech-rights-responsibilities/faqs/what-is-defamation/ https://www.reuters.com/legal/legalindustry/manipulating-reality-intersection-deepfakes-law-2024-02-01/
