Deepfakes Heatmap

Rooted Reality reviewed Arkansas's legislative materials, official code, and election-law sources for a state-level deepfake rule and didn't find one on the books today. Federal law and platform policies are what apply for Arkansas families.

• Arkansas has no enforceable state-level deepfake rule today — federal law and each platform's own content policy are what apply here.
• If an Arkansas 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 Arkansas's state-level posture.

• Search the Arkansas General Assembly'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.
