Why this status
Rooted Reality reviewed North Carolina General Assembly materials on deepfake and election-AI rules. Public trackers pointed to active proposals — including HB 934 and HB 375 — but we couldn't verify any of them against a stable North Carolina primary source on the May 5, 2026 review. No enforceable rule shows on this card today.
What this means
- North Carolina 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 HB 934 and HB 375 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 North Carolina's state-level posture.
What to verify next
- Open HB 934 and HB 375 on the North Carolina General Assembly's bill-tracking site to see whether either has cleared committee or moved to the Senate.
- 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.
