North Carolina

No state-level rule found.

Public source links are still being curated for this entry.

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.
