    Cool. Let’s go with criminal impersonation, defamation, and slander/libel instead them!

      IAs far as I read this correctly, the law prohibits creating such media but does not hold the websites accountable for publishing the media.

      It does indeed sound vague as to what the social media site should do.

    What a fucking chode.

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

    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

      I can place a pretty hefty bet that this thought has not visited Elmos head.

        I don’t think good and bad are concepts he is capable of understanding, like empathy.
