    This is what the right is doing, while the DNC is censuring their own members for simply encouraging democrats to run against their own apathetic incumbents.

    X’s lawsuit claims the law’s “requirements are so vague and unintelligible that social media platforms cannot understand what the statute permits and what it prohibits.”

    Vague, overly broad laws are indeed a problem; I’m willing to give him that. ONLY that.

    Unfortunately for Musk, this is not vague. If the footage is something you created or manipulated, you know perfectly damn well whether it’s legal or not. He’s trying to confuse the issue, and conflate fraud with free speech. Hopefully, the court will see right through him.

      Easy solution would be for the state to show up with an AI generated video of him giving an explanation as to why he (Elon) has no clue what he is talking about and this is obviously the greatest law ever.

      Or maybe take the opposite stance…lol

        The easier solution is to say that since it’s too hard for X to do, X doesn’t get to operate anymore and shut X down.

    If you need it to be legal to deepfake to manipulate politics you’re the problem.

      Noo we just demand this specific instance of deregulation because… uh, it theoretically might help small businesses!

      Also why would you even care about anything other than short-term GDP increase. Are you some kind of communist?!?

      There are so many flags right now it’s just a sea of red undulations. Done by design, so that we don’t notice the death of democracy.

      because one side is prioritizing democratic principles and the other is making an argument that could be related to the first amendment. Twitter absolutely isn’t doing this for any good reason, but the argument could be used for one.

        If you have to tell deliberate lies to influence people then that isn’t democracy. That’s fascism or at least a kakistocracy - the worst and stupidest rule because they can’t get elected otherwise. Fuck twisting the First Amendment into a tool of lies and corruption.

          the problem I have is that the law (609.772) appears to not only apply to political content, but all content that is

          "so realistic that a reasonable person would believe it depicts speech or conduct of an individual who did not in fact engage in such speech or conduct; " and made without consent and wintin 90 days of political party conventions or after absentee voting starts.

          By the way it is written the “presidents play Minecraft” series which most informed people would fully understand was not made my any presidents would likely fall under this law.
