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.

What does that have to do with literally anything lol

Yeah, I don’t think that’s true. People lie all the time.

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.

That infrastructure is majorly lacking if you live in the US.

It was a deal through OTB discs that they had advertised. They were at the the warehouse and offered to sign discs if you put it in the notes

here’s the other one!

I’m inferring/projecting a lot, but, my mom was an alcoholic that committed suicide, I don’t know many people that relate to that, but it sounds like you might. Your comment really hits home. Just wanted to say, I relate. You’re not alone.

So, this was in March. Current rhetoric in some of the states is talking about how “Mexico’s government is too corrupt from the inside by cartels and we need a military intervention without the approval of Mexico.”(paraphrasing)

So, yeah. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

I don’t think right wingers understand that an actual hot war, will result in attacks on the states we’ve never seen. Well, it should anyway. Americans aren’t ready for a war on the boarder(nor is it required) but even the right doesn’t have the lack of empathy for the suffering ensued on American citizens. At least, in the way this plays out in my head cannon. Reality has done nothing but surprise me.

Had a bag at the head of my bed, woke up, still laying down, reached over my head to grab something out of it, went to pull back “down” and tore my rotator cuff. I was 20.

My state will see you in court.

I laughed haha
