In one paragraph

Florida's CS/CS/HB 1161 (Chapter 2025-133), Brooke's Law, amends s. 836.13, F.S. Covered platforms (sites, services or apps that mainly host user content, or regularly make nonconsensual altered sexual depictions available) had to set up by December 31, 2025 a process for people to request removal of sexual deepfakes of them posted without consent. Within 48 hours of a valid request the platform must remove the content and make reasonable efforts to remove identical copies, and it must post plain-language notice of the process. Good-faith removals are immune; unreasonable noncompliance is a FDUTPA violation. Effective June 10, 2025.
