This is not at all about protecting children. That's just manipulation. In truth, kids are more likely to prosecuted than protected by this bill.

There are already laws that could be used against teen bullies but it's rarely done. (IMHO it would create more harm than good, anyway.)

This is part of an effort to turn the likenesses of people into intellectual property. Basically, it is about more money for the rich and famous.

This bill would even apply to anyone who shares a movie with a sex scene in it. It's enough that the "depiction" is "realistic" and "created or altered using digital manipulation". Pretty much any photo nowadays, and certainly any movie, can be said to "altered using digital manipulation". There's no mention of age, deception, AI, or anything that the PR bullshit suggests.
