Hard to imagine how they're going to take down deepfakes without limiting freedom of information or how they will prove who made the content.

    Well they already have a leg up with the TAKE IT DOWN Act that Democrats worked with Ted Cruz and Trump to get passed.

    To my knowledge, that only covers pornographic content.

    And the Patriot Act was only implemented to catch terrorists. What's considered "pornographic content" is entirely subjective and up to the personal feelings of a particular judge.

    There's no judge in the world who could make the leap that this is pornographic.

    Ah, but with the definition having multiple meanings then can easily make that call.

    the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction

    So all those things posted online like “food porn,” “travel porn,” etc can be classified as pornography because now we have a definition that isn’t necessarily sexual.

    It’s bullshit, but they can still make it the definition used to make their case about why it’s “bad.” GOP is good at using broad strokes to paint their evil.

    Similarly, libs hated guns so much, they let the fucking COPS have the right to arbitrarily deny you a gun permit* under so called "may issue" laws.

    Yea no fuck that lol. They would just let white people have guns and non-whites seeking a gun for self-defence will be denied because "they look suspicious"

    You can never trust the police. Arm yourselved, form a well-regulated militia to protect your community.

    *"may issue" laws were in effect in many Democratic jurisdictions until 2022, when, ironically, the fascists on the supreme court struck them down.

    Klobuchar will just use this as another rallying cry to tear down Section 230 and make the internet even worse. You can read it yourself, but earlier this year she tried to use a 19 year old ODing on fentanyl he bought off Snapchat as a reason to "... get rid of or reform section 230 ..."

    Not sure how that's going to stop people from ODing on adulterated narcotics, but maybe supporting harm reduction and mental health services would be a better use of my tax payer money.

    It's this one, although I can't find the original, only the reaction to it.

    Ok, that's actually funny for once and not just full of spite, but the douchebag on the left forgets how easy it is to troll the right. Remember how hard they lost their minds for calling them "weirdos"? Case in point.

    I think this is a good thing. Now there's plausible deniability for anything you might have said in the past that surfaces - that's just a deepfake! Don't cancel me, it's not real.

    Yes, what a good thing, the end of consequences and easily proven fact.

    We've got a world "leader" who pioneered the end of consequences and showed that easily proven facts weren't worth the bits they were sent over the internet with, so that ship has already sailed.

    Enjoy the freedom that comes with never having to answer for your crimes. Kick a puppy. Call someone a slur. Steal a game ball from a kid at the world series.

    I mean... Yes, that is what deepfakes are. I am sorry it happened to poor old Amy, and I whish her vulgar, algorythmic doppelganger wouldn't have said awul things but... If this is news to you you might have not be paying attention for a while.

    She has a well earned reputation of sounding in private just like in the video . I’m sure the video is not her, but it was really accurate in tone; which is why it’s getting traction
