A lawsuit has already been filed against California’s new laws designed to curb artifical intelligence images and deepfakes.
Governor Gavin Newsom signed three landmark pieces of legislation last week which have been described as some of the toughest laws in the U.S. to crack down on election deepfakes.that the complainant — who goes by Mr Reagan online — says the new California laws censor free speech and allow anybody to take legal action over content they dislike.who adds the law doesn’t ban satire and parody content but does require the disclosure of AI to be displayed within altered videos or images.
“This new disclosure law for election misinformation isn’t any more onerous than laws already passed in other states, including Alabama,” adds the spokesperson. However, the attorney representing the complainant, Theodore Frank, says the new laws overreach and are designed to “force social media companies to censor and harass people.”
“I’m not familiar with the Alabama law. On the other hand, the governor of Alabama had hasn’t threatened our client the way the governor of California did,” Frank tellsThe California laws make it illegal to create and publish deepfakes related to elections 120 days before Election Day and 60 days thereafter. It also allows courts to stop the distribution of the materials and impose civil penalties.
The law, that has come into immediate effect, will enable individuals to sue for damages over election deepfakes while next year large online platforms, such as X, will be required to remove deceptive material.Tesla Claim Seven-Year-Old Video of Elon Musk May Be a Deepfake
