Deepfakes Heatmap

Rooted Reality reviewed Missouri Senate and House materials on deepfake and election-AI rules. Public trackers showed active 2026 proposals — including SB 1012 — but we couldn't verify any of them against a stable Missouri primary source on the May 5, 2026 review. No enforceable rule shows on this card today.

• Missouri has no verified state-level deepfake rule on this card today — federal law and each platform's own content policy are what apply here.
• Tracker activity around SB 1012 and similar 2026 proposals suggests movement, but movement isn't a rule. Until a bill is signed and given an effective date, nothing changes for households here.
• Federal protections (intimate-image laws, election-fraud statutes, CSAM rules) and a depicted person's existing civil claims still apply regardless of Missouri's state-level posture.

• Search Missouri SB 1012 and related deepfake proposals on the Missouri General Assembly's bill-tracking site — that's where Senate and House action gets recorded first.
• For content concerns today, the platform's own policy and federal complaint paths (FBI IC3 for fraud, NCMEC for content involving minors) are the active levers.
