I think the bipartisan TAKE IT DOWN bill has and will have a substantial effect on the proliferation of open source deepfake models. Sure, a tech savvy individual will still be able to download a model themselves and do whatever, but it significantly different from having deepfake services readily available for millions to use. Is it absolute enforcement, no, but it has a substantial effect on the world.

Fair enough. That being said, deepfake services doesn’t need to be open source. Anything that presents to the masses is obviously going to be enforced but that doesn’t necessarily translate back to the open source supply chain.
