Denmark plans to become the first country in the world to give its citizens copyright over their faces and voices in an effort to clamp down on “deepfakes” — videos, audio clips and images that are digitally doctored to spread false information.

The article is unclear but that's my reading of it too. It's obviously infeasible to sue everybody who does this (especially if you're a public figure, it would be hundreds of lawsuits) so I think the endgame is that if the content doesn't have a signature, we assume it's fake.

It would be almost impossible to know who even had a copy, but maybe it also gives a legal avenue to stop agencies selling your face data, since they'd be profiting off of copyrighted "works"
