Washington, D.C. — Today, Re:Create issued the following statement urging congressional leaders to oppose the NO FAKES Act prior to its introduction.

“The NO FAKES Act would create more problems for creativity and society than it solves. The bill creates an unprecedented new federal intellectual property scheme that shrinks the public domain, undermines Section 230, endangers consumer privacy and threatens free expression online. As lawmakers consider proposals to regulate digital replicas—whether to address privacy concerns like combating non-consensual intimate images or commercial ones like NIL—Re:Create urges Congress to consider carefully the full range of impacts of these bills, including threats to the open internet, free speech, and the future of creativity.”
