The NO FAKES Act Could Silence Satire, Commentary, And News
完整原文
The NO FAKES Act is supposed to target harmful AI-generated impersonations. But in reality, it will make it easier to suppress commentary, satire, and other lawful speech. That's why EFF has signed a letter urging the Senate Judiciary Committee not to advance the bill in its current form. Take action Tell Congress to Say No to NO FAKES In the letter, EFF joins a coalition of civil society groups in pointing out that the bill would import many of the worst features of the DMCA notice-and-takedown system into an even broader range of online expression. Faced with a “heckler’s veto” over legal speech, platforms will have incentives to remove content first and ask questions later. The bill offers no protection for a platform’s judgment about an often difficult question—whether a particular piece of content is satire, parody, commentary, or news. Any platform that guesses wrong faces penalties of up to $750,000 per work. NO FAKES could also undermine the rights of the people it is supposed to protect. The new federal “likeness” right could be licensed or transferred to others, so individuals will lose control over the use of their own face and voice. That’s not theoretical—workers in the entertainment industry are routinely asked to sign broad contracts about the future use of their likenesses. As the letter notes: A background actor who signs a release on set or an ordinary person who clicks through a platform's terms of service could end up with the right to their own face and voice in someone else's hands, for years, with federal enforcement behind it. EFF and the other signatories urge Congress to examine existing legal remedies and pursue narrowly tailored solutions to genuine harms. The last thing we need is a sweeping new intellectual property right that threatens free expression. In addition to EFF, the letter is signed by the Center for Democracy & Technology, the American Civil Liberties Union, Fight for the Future, Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, the Organization for Transformative Works, Public Knowledge, the R Street Institute, The Future of Free Speech, and the Woodhull Freedom Foundation.

归纳
NO FAKES法案旨在打击有害的人工智能生成冒充行为，但实际可能更容易压制评论、讽刺及其他合法言论。电子前哨基金会（EFF）联合多个公民社会团体致信参议院司法委员会，指出该法案将引入数字千年版权法（DMCA）通知-删除制度的最差特征，并扩大适用范围。平台面对“搅局者否决”可能优先删除内容，若判断错误，每件作品面临最高75万美元罚款。法案还创建可转让的联邦“肖像权”，使个人失去对自己面部和声音的控制，例如背景演员或普通用户可能在签署协议后丧失权利。EFF等组织敦促国会采取针对性措施解决真实伤害，而非通过威胁言论自由的新知识产权法案。
点评
NO FAKES法案引入类似DMCA的通知-删除制度及可转让联邦肖像权，可能因高额罚款和平台避险机制压制讽刺、评论等合法言论，构成言论自由过度限制的合规风险。

中国法律人应警惕国内肖像权、声音权立法中引入类似可转让财产权模式，防止知识产权泛化挤压言论自由空间。
