Oregon Synthetic Explicit Content law summary
Based on direct statute tracking.
Oregon makes it a crime to share a sexually explicit deepfake of a real person without their consent. House Bill 2299 (Chapter 116 of the 2025 Oregon Laws) expanded the state's unlawful dissemination of an intimate image law so that an "image" now includes "a digitally created, manipulated or altered depiction that is reasonably realistic" — closing the gap where AI-generated fakes were not clearly covered. Based on public records, the rule took effect January 1, 2026, and still requires that the person shared the image intending to harass, humiliate or injure someone who did not consent. A first offense is a misdemeanor and repeat conduct can rise to a felony.
