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.

What a fucking chode.
If you need it to be legal to deepfake to manipulate politics you’re the problem.

How isn’t this immediately a red flag?
4grams@awful.systems 4 weeks ago
There are so many flags right now it’s just a sea of red undulations. Done by design, so that we don’t notice the death of democracy.
JonEFive@midwest.social 4 weeks ago
They overwhelm everyone knowing that 80% of this shit is gonna get outlawed or overturned, but that 20% that gets through is gonna be huge for them.
desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 weeks ago
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.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
If you have to tell deliberate lies to influence people then that isn’t democracy. That’s fascism. Fuck twisting the First Amendment into a tool of lies and corruption.
raltoid@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
This is what the right is doing, while the DNC is talking about censuring their own members for simply encouraging democrats to run even against their own apathetic incumbents.

Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Well, this is a solid admission that they are going to use deep fakes to influence elections.
zqps@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Noo we just want this specific instance of deregulation because… uh, it theoretically might help small businesses!
Also why would you even care about anything other than short-term GDP increase. Are you some kind of communist?!?
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
Are least it’s evidence that worry they might need to need to influence anther election.
Silver lining…?
phx@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Cool. Let’s go with criminal impersonation, defamation, and slander/libel instead them!

Can we join forces and spam X with a flood of Informative deep fakes of select individuals?
suite403@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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.
GroundedGator@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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

And the Fake News crowd goes wild! By the way, that’s conservatives and all of their media.
BigMacHole@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Elon Musk, Republican President who is literally BANKROLLING THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY, SUING because he can’t Create Fake News with AI, is PROOF that DEMOCRATS are the Fake News!

Why would they want to “influence elections”?
Sounds shady.
alphabethunter@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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.

He doesn’t even know you, and a ctrl-f of your profile shows you’ve commented on 3 Elon posts in the last 10 comments. He lives in your head rent-free

Maybe if you keep licking the shit out of his ass you might find a Tesla in there

GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
don’t know what’s more pathetic. the fact that you took the time to stalk me or that you tried to discourage me from making fun of a washed up drug addict.

What a freeloader! He should pay up.

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 with this argument is that social media platforms aren’t required to enforce it? www.sos.mn.gov/media/5626/deep-fake-overview.pdf
tfowinder@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
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.
ToxicWaste@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
does anyone have the actual written law? it is hard to argue using summaries or even opinion pieces of musky boy.

He had that fetish roleplay account where he pretended to be his toddler…
nomy@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
The dude is convinced he can “win” by out-procreating everyone else, it’s obvious he has some very serious mental issues that need addressing but he’ll never actually do the work required to be better. He’s exactly like the Quiverfull people trying to out-populate their perceived enemies, assuming their descendents will follow their same credo.

So is their position that deception via impersonation is free speech?
madjo@feddit.nl 4 weeks ago
Who can make a deep fake of der Elon professing his love for trans people? Wherein he states that he was wrong about the woke mind virus. That he wishes he had been born to a black family.
ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Gee, I wonder why.
Dragomus@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
They did more than influence the past election, and have plans to do the same in the upcoming ones… so ofcourse any regulation against these plans must be taken away.
