SACRAMENTO, California — A federal judge on Wednesday blocked a California measure restricting the use of digitally altered political “deepfakes” just two weeks after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law.

The ruling is a blow to a push by the state’s leading Democrats to rein in misleading content on social media ahead of Election Day. Chris Kohls, known as “Mr Reagan” on X, sued to prevent the state from enforcing the law after posting an AI-generated video of a Harris campaign ad on the social media site. He claimed the video was protected by the First Amendment because it was a parody.

The judge agreed.

“Most of [the law] acts as a hammer instead of a scalpel,” Senior U.S. District Judge John A. Mendez wrote, calling it “a blunt tool hinders humorous expression and unconstitutionally stifles the free and unfettered exchange of ideas.” He carved out an exception for a “not unduly burdensome” portion of the law that requires verbal disclosure of digitally altered content in audio-only recordings.

So weird this desire of people enjoying not only to be lied to but actively encouraging it.

Vance, “I thought we agreed there’d be no fact checking.”

You have a canvas painting of a buffed out trump riding a centaur and carrying an autographed American flag.

The answer to AI created content which mimics real people is to require that a royalty is paid to the person, or estate of the person, being mimicked. Failure to secure prior authorization for the use of the likeness or voice should also carry a penalty equal to that for committing fraud, because that's what a "deep fake" is - fraud. It is not the person/voice but it is intended to make you believe that it is.

Each use, even if merely repeating what was published by another, should result in the royalty being paid. Just like music, books, film, etc.

Caricatures and impersonations are not the same because it's obvious that these things aren't intended to be passed off as "real."

Parody is not Russian propaganda, dipshit. The "left" started this AI shit to put words into their opponent's mouths and now that the right has returned the favor they wet their panties.

Lemme get this straight…

You want Vladimir Putin to pay Hillary Clinton royalties for using her image? Okay, ok, I myself sound crazy saying that so lemme try and put it in more practical terms. So a Russian made AI image of Hillary Clinton that is conveniently platformed by say a gullible American named, I dunno, Tim Pool and then is shared by other RW idiots like say a member named wat means that Hillary Clinton can sue them both? I think that’s what you’re sayin. It’s rare I say this but I AGREE WITH YOU!

You know as well as I do, he's just going to point to a bunch of things Trump really did say while insisting he meant something else.
