South Dakota would make it illegal to share fake or manipulated images, videos, or audio recordings without clearly labeling them as altered—such as with a visible "This image/video/audio has been manipulated" disclosure. The disclosure must be easy to read or hear and stay visible or audible throughout the entire recording. Violating this rule would be a Class 1 misdemeanor.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
