West Virginia Deepfakes law summary

Why this status
Coverage in this area is still under review.
What this means
- West Virginia has no enforceable state-level deepfake rule today — federal law and each platform's own content policy are what apply here.
- If a West Virginia measure has been introduced but isn't posted in a stable form yet, it won't appear on this card until we can verify the bill text against a primary source.
- Federal protections (intimate-image laws, election-fraud statutes, CSAM rules) and a depicted person's existing civil claims still apply, regardless of West Virginia's state-level posture.
What to do next
- Search the West Virginia Legislature's bill-tracking site for measures tagged with deepfake or synthetic media — that's the cleanest read of where any active legislation stands.
- For a specific piece of content you're worried about, the platform's own policy and federal complaint paths (FBI IC3 for fraud, NCMEC for content involving minors) are the active levers today.
