Deepfakes Heatmap

California's leginfo.legislature.ca.gov blocks our automated reader, so Rooted Reality couldn't pull verifiable text for AB 2839 or AB 730 on this run. Without a clean read of those primary sources, we won't publish a confidence-graded posture for California deepfake rules today. The references on this card point to the official California Legislature pages — they're readable in a normal browser, just not by our automated reader.

• California is a state where we know rules exist but we couldn't verify the current text on this review cycle. Treat "under review" as a candid gap, not a finding about California's actual posture — California has been one of the most active states on synthetic-media regulation.
• AB 2839 and AB 730 are real California legislation. The links on this card go to the legitimate California Legislature site; only our automated fetch was blocked, not the underlying material.
• We'll republish this card the moment we can verify the bill text against a stable, fetchable source — either through a different California Legislature endpoint or once their access policy changes.

• Open the AB 2839 and AB 730 links in your normal browser — they load cleanly there and show the latest official status of each bill.
• The California Attorney General's office and the California Secretary of State also publish guidance that fills in around these statutes, and both sites are readable in normal browsers.
