LOS ANGELES (Nov. 7, 2019) — SAG-AFTRA has been at the forefront of protecting our members’ image and voice rights for decades through strong contracts and strong legislation. The tools and technologies used by ill-intentioned people or companies for identity abuse and commercial misappropriation on the internet have grown more sophisticated, making it harder to stop. This abuse affects all of us. We stand behind Sandra Bullock and Ellen DeGeneres, whose lawsuit will help protect everyone from image theft, consumer fraud and deception.
