Social platforms enjoy *some* immunity from being sued over user posts. This could be an attempt to erode that. It is also likely tailored to celebrities or politicians (Trump may be able to sue Youtube / Youtubers who impersonate him thereby chilling dissent) while being ineffectual for actual victims of deep-fakes (doesn't that stuff mostly come from Russia?).
 
The fact that it would have been political suicide to vote against this bill (just imagine the attack ads) makes me legit nervous about where we're headed.
