# Denmark wants to make sharing a deepfake of you illegal : the new bill covers anyone's face and voice, makes an exception for satire and parody, and could take effect at the start of next year.

## Retrieval answer

## Consent becomes a product constraint for synthetic likenesses

## Consent becomes a product constraint for synthetic likenesses

**Thesis:** Denmark’s proposal frames realistic face and voice imitation without consent as a copyright matter, extending protection beyond performers to ordinary people. **Mechanism:** The bill would amend copyright law to prohibit sharing realistic deepfakes of people’s faces and voices without consent, while retaining exceptions for satire, parody, and political or social criticism unless misinformation poses serious danger to others.

**Why now:** Euronews reports that Denmark is due to introduce the bill after a broad political agreement reached in June 2025. **First implication:** Teams distributing synthetic media may need to treat consent and rights clearance for likenesses as a product and workflow constraint, rather than relying on content labels alone. That is a likely operational implication, not a requirement whose implementation details are established by this report.

**Evidence boundary:** The source describes a proposed amendment, not enacted law; it does not establish the final text, enforcement practice, or how exceptions would be adjudicated. **First watch condition:** Watch whether the bill is enacted and whether its final text clarifies what counts as a realistic imitation, what sharing is covered, and how the exceptions work in practice.

This begins a distinct analytical record because no prior New Runtime record on this specific Danish proposal was supplied. The proposal is a national legislative signal about rights over synthetic identity; it does not yet establish a broader regulatory pattern.
