Deliberation Summary:
(1) Consider the tension between established production usage of the term, which has covered authorized likeness replacement and satire, and the public and legislative understanding, which associates it with unauthorized political or intimate material. (2) Consider whether the term should be limited to living people or extended to fictional characters; favor confining it to human likeness so that the entry is clearer to protect individual reputation rather than other/corporate intellectual property. (3) Ground the definition in the general understanding of unauthorized deception while carrying contextual notes that accommodate authorized production workflows.
