dwazouElon Musk’s X sues to overturn Minnesota political deepfakes ban
It'sbetterwithbutterAmerica has become a fascist meme, a joke of a country. I’ve been commenting quite a bit these days because I can’t understand how this is even a thing? suing to allow themselves to lie, what is wrong with you people!
So, I hate Elon. I’m going to start with that, please don’t misconstrue this is a defense of him. However, when it comes to this. The argument for the suit is that the first amendment protects it. The first amendment protects a lot of speech that I don’t agree with, doesn’t mean it can’t be said. I think, if we were trying to combat deepfakes, without stepping on the constitution, it could be done with a required disclaimer on deepfakes, that, if it isn’t there, opens up the creator, or platform, to legal repercussions. Or something along those lines.
knightly the SneptaurThe first amendment doesn’t protect fraudulent speech, which is what deepfakes are.
Yeah, I don’t think that’s true. People lie all the time.
And when people impersonate cops, it’s a crime.
What does that have to do with literally anything lol
There are limits to free speech.
Never did I say there wasn’t. However, the first amendment protects all kinds of false speech, except in some very narrow exceptions. Here’s an interesting interview. it’s at the bottom of your want to read, otherwise, it’s a decent listen.
