Nations are proposing giving citizens copyright over their own faces and voices as a shield against deepfakes, potentially using digital signatures to verify genuine content.

Commenters are split on function versus fiction. Some users argue the mechanism is weak, demanding answers like, "How is this supposed to work? What about identical twins? What about people who look alike?" Others see a legal weapon: "You probably claim copyright infringement if a shady cam face recognition service takes your image. And they'd have to remove it." The core debate pits legal enforcement against fundamental rights, with some voicing fears of governmental overreach, citing parallels to "SovCit theory."

The practical focus settles on establishing a verifiable standard. The consensus points toward using this legal hook to challenge profit-making data brokers, rather than fearing an unmanageable flood of personal lawsuits. The weakness remains biological replication and the shadow of free speech protections, particularly parody.
