China Provisions on the Administration of Deep Synthesis Internet Information Services, Article 14

Properties

kind: law
target: voice-and-likeness
jurisdiction: China
mechanism: Requires deep-synthesis service providers and technical supporters that offer face- or voice-editing functions to prompt users of the service to notify the individual whose biometric information is being edited and to obtain that individual's independent consent in accordance with law before the edited content is produced.
status: in-effect
owns: A consent-before-use biometric-editing gate embedded directly in a binding national regulation, distinct from tn-elvis-act's after-the-fact tort-liability model and from provider policies like elevenlabs-voice-clone-policy by placing the notify-and-consent duty on the platform's user-facing workflow rather than on a private civil claim.

notes: Issued jointly by the Cyberspace Administration of China, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and Ministry of Public Security on 25 November 2022; effective 10 January 2023. The primary English translation (chinalawtranslate.com) returned a 403 to automated fetch in this pass; the quote above is reproduced by a secondary aggregator (ETO Agora) that mirrors that same translation, and the substance is cross-confirmed by two additional independent secondary summaries (Asia Growth Partners, China Law Vision) describing the identical notify-and-consent mechanism. Not independently confirmed against the original Chinese-language gazette text. Predates the 2026-09-04 window; included as backfill because the catalogue currently tracks zero non-US jurisdictions.
