Back to EpisodesAlberta Bans Deepfakes, Tightens Election Rules
Description
Albertas Justice Minister introduces Bill 23 to combat deepfakes, banning their creation and sharing year-round, not just during elections. The law grants the election commissioner power to shut down violations, with hefty fines for individuals and organizations. Minister Amery aims to keep voters focused on the ballot, not distracted by side petitions. The bill also updates public sector pay disclosure and severance reports, and introduces lawyer overseers for petitions. More deepfake rules are expected this fall, promising a full shield against digital tricks while streamlining government transparency.
