California lawmakers give final approval to bill banning deceptive campaign ads, election communication.

Lawmakers say the law needs to be strengthened during an election cycle in which people are already flooding social media with digitally altered videos and photos known as deepfakes.

The bill would take effect immediately, in time for the November election.

More than two dozen states, including Washington , Arizona and Oregon , have enacted, passed or are working on legislation to regulate deepfakes.

In 2019 , California instituted a law aimed at combating manipulated media after a video that made it appear as if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was drunk went viral on social media.

Lawmaker: "Just creating a new law doesn’t do anything to stop the bad behavior".
