Well, this is a solid admission that they are going to use deep fakes to influence elections.
Minnesota scraps that law and uses Elon’s deepfakes to claim he wants to destroy Medicare
Elon calls for laws banning deepfakes
can elon and linda hurry up and die already
Rich people live a lot longer than us.
My state will see you in court.
Something only a childish brat would even think to try
“what do you mean we can’t use fake misleading videos to fuck democracy?”
Can we join forces and spam X with a flood of Informative deep fakes of select individuals?
You could, but it would just be limited reach. There is no way to fight back using his own platform beyond just not going there.
Something that has been bothering me lately. Reasonable people who counter the toxic misinformation leaving the platform only allows the disease to grow and spread. But reality is they weren’t reaching the people that needed the dose of reality anyway. And then I realized that the algorithms have always been the disease, my feeds are my own echo chamber to drive engagement, just as theirs are. I’ve pretty much cut all social networks out. The only way to change minds is honest respectable conversation, and I am not a person to change anyone’s mind.
We’re fucked
How isn’t this immediately a red flag?
because one side is prioritizing democratic principles and the other is making an argument that could be related to the first amendment. Twitter absolutely isn’t doing this for any good reason, but the argument could be used for one.
If you have to tell deliberate lies to influence people then that isn’t democracy. That’s fascism or at least a kakistocracy - the worst and stupidest rule because they can’t get elected otherwise. Fuck twisting the First Amendment into a tool of lies and corruption.
I propose for every lie someone tells, we (we’ll vote on who) gets to punch them in the face.
This is what the right is doing, while the DNC is censuring their own members for simply encouraging democrats to run against their own apathetic incumbents.
Why would they want to “influence elections”?
Sounds shady.
It’s a huge part of the business model. Social Media is valuable for its data on people, and for its ability to manipulate and influence people.
Cool. Let’s go with criminal impersonation, defamation, and slander/libel instead them!
“The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact-check.”
Delivering that line with such glee like he thought he had some sort of high ground.
Makes me sick.
Remember when this stuff was called "the quiet part’, and it was considered bad when you said it out loud?
Yeah…good times.
I member
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.”
The issue with this argument is that social media platforms aren’t required to enforce it? https://www.sos.mn.gov/media/5626/deep-fake-overview.pdf
does anyone have the actual written law? it is hard to argue using summaries or even opinion pieces of musky boy.
Link in the first paragraph
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.
