United States of America: Utah Legislature adopted Digital Content Provenance Standards Act

On 5 March 2026, the Digital Content Provenance Standards Act was adopted by the legislature. The Act seeks to establish technical standards for embedding and preserving provenance data in digital content. The Act requires large online platforms with over 2 million monthly users to detect, display, and preserve compliant provenance data within distributed content. Furthermore, the platforms would be prohibited from stripping embedded digital signatures from the media they host. The Act aims to ensure transparency regarding the origin of digital content across the supply chain.
