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.

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 10 hours ago (2 children)

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.

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.
