  • Society doesn’t imprison you for saying the N word. It’s not socially acceptable, but you won’t face legal repercussions.

    The law that was passed is too broad. It blanket bans deep fakes. That’s the issue. Not that I’m really complaining that they do, I don’t like them, but because I do not like it, is not justification. The law doesn’t target political speech, just deepfakes as a whole. Also, political speech is some of the most highly defended when it comes to the first amendment.

    Politicians have been lying about each other for longer than deepfakes and will continue to do so.


  • I literally said you could display a banner that discloses that it’s a deepfake, that was my actual solution, rather than banning the medium of speech outright.

    We do need an overhaul.

    This individual lawsuit, though, isn’t all that unjust because Elon’s name is attached to it. You shouldn’t be able to ban a vehicle of speech because you don’t agree with it. Fuck, I don’t agree with it, and actually was equally grossed out about the lawsuit, until I did some digging on what 1st amendment lawyers were saying about it. Just because I don’t like it, doesn’t mean it should be banned.

    I agree with the overall sentiment of what you’re conveying about the country, in my opinion though, this lawsuit, isn’t a super effective way to voice those concerns. We do need overhaul, shit is broken. However, my state telling me what I can and cannot say, and how, is not okay with me. I hate Elon, unfortunately, a broken clock is right twice a day, even if he has ulterior motives, there are more effective ways to have change and not infringe on people’s rights.

    I never mentioned the 2nd amendment.

    I’ve actually thought about how to enact change with politics the way they are, and I’m not sure it happens, people in power have too much to lose. Really sad state of the US.


  • I don’t disagree entirely, but, how would you amend it then?

    I mean we’re talking about one of, if not the most cited amendments in the constitution. Of all things, Americans hate being told what they can and can’t say.

    Again, I don’t disagree with your sentiment, especially cause you’re not wrong, one side is uprooting everything while claiming to be “playing by the rules” or “protecting American rights.”

    It’s an interesting case for sure.


  • 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.
