"The use of ElevenLabs' platform to generate non-consensual intimate voice content, including content of a sexual nature featuring real individuals without their explicit consent, is strictly prohibited.— Excerpt from ElevenLabs's ElevenLabs Safety Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Non-consensual intimate deepfake audio engages the DEEPFAKES Accountability Act proposals at the federal level (not yet enacted as of the document date), California AB 602, Virginia's deepfake statute, and the UK Online Safety Act's provisions on non-consensual intimate image and audio offenses. The FTC and state attorneys general are relevant enforcement authorities. Several states have enacted or proposed specific criminal penalties for non-consensual intimate synthetic media. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. This is an area of rapidly evolving state legislation, and enterprise customers providing consumer-facing voice generation tools face elevated exposure if their platforms can be used to generate intimate content without adequate consent verification. The policy's prohibition is clear but the verification mechanism is not specified. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California, Virginia, Georgia, Texas, and New York have enacted statutes specifically addressing non-consensual intimate synthetic media. UK users are covered under the Online Safety Act's intimate image abuse provisions. EU users may have recourse under GDPR Article 9 (special category data) and national criminal law. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Platforms embedding ElevenLabs via API that allow user-generated content of a potentially intimate nature should conduct a risk assessment and implement content classification workflows prior to deployment. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Enterprise customers should confirm that ElevenLabs' content detection systems include classifiers for intimate content and that reporting to law enforcement for this category of violation is operationalized. Legal teams should monitor state legislative developments in this area, which are evolving rapidly.
