Amy Klobuchar learned that a video clip of her was going viral on social media. So she clicked on it. She saw her face and her voice saying vulgar things she had never said. It was an AI deepfake. (www.nytimes.com)

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.

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.

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.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

Looks at judges who have decided any sign of support for Palestine is terrorism

as a victorian from over a century ago, i find anything depicting unclothed ankles to be porn.
