Iowa lawmakers passed HF 2240 to criminalize distributing digitally altered images of a person undressed or in a sex act with harassment penalties. SF 2243 adds deepfake images to child pornography statutes with penalties up to 10 years for repeat offenses. Both measures advance as states crack down on AI generated nonconsensual porn.
