Nah, the majority of people can decide to outlaw actions in a democratic state. Under consistent understandings of intellectual property, people should have the ability to prevent their likeness becoming a product unless it actual falls under fair use. Like most things AI, pre existing IP laws make most current uses of AI illegal. The only reason it’s still getting pushed is thanks to the rule of law being secondary to the power of money.
The result is that anti deepfake laws aren’t authoritarian unless you consider liberal democracy to be fundamentally authoritarian (which is fair, but only if you’re consistent about it).
