    If America is only an idea, then there is no need for masses of immigrants to come here since they can just create the idea in their own countries. - Random Thought from the Interwebs.

    I can't wait for when a first amendment challenge makes it to SCOTUS and then have Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Roberts uphold it.

    So....I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, someone using an AI to make a video misquoting a politician seems the same as someome actually misquoting the politician. Why is that not defamation? And sure, people should be able to make statire videos. That said, I know people who still think Sarah Palin said "I can see Alaska from my house" based on the Tina Fey SNL sketch.

    Fake:



    True:



    and:



    When I've tried to debate these otherwise intelligent people they say "But I looked on a map and you can't see Russia from her house and that's why what she said was so stupid. Everyone knows you can seel Russia from some parts of Alaska." Meaning they bought into a lie that wasn't even put out except in satire! Now, imagine instead of an SNL sketch, which I can send to people to prove they were being had, we were dealing with a deep fake? That said, the dems even lie about deep fakes calling them "cheap fakes" when the facts don't go their way.

    Newsom is just mad because he knows the left doesn't know how to meme.

    Judge blocks California deepfakes law that sparked Musk-Newsom row
    The decision is a blow to the state’s leading Democrats who’ve tried to rein in misleading social media content ahead of the November elections.

    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.
