MODERATORS
 

Elon Musk's social media platform X sued Minnesota on Wednesday over a state law that bans people from using AI-generated "deepfakes" to influence an election, which the company said violated protections of free speech.

The law replaces social media platforms' judgment about the content with the judgment of the state and threatens criminal liability if the platforms get it wrong, according to the lawsuit that was filed in Minnesota federal court.

"This system will inevitably result in the censorship of wide swaths of valuable political speech and commentary," X said in its complaint. Musk has described himself as a free speech absolutist and he did away with Twitter's content moderation policy when he bought the company in 2022 and renamed it X.

Deep fake Musk saying that he retracts and drops the suing case, and play it in court.

But make it obviously fake, maybe include his children in it showing love and affection towards him, or something equally far fetched, like him beating a tutorial boss

Have him show empathy. That will prove it's fake.

Are you telling him to just Xit it out?

And what does he do once this message has been Xat?

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 1 points 19 hours ago

He can Xit it all over Xitter and they will b& the poster, having Xat all over their supposed free speech commitment which we all know is Xit.

But if they make it as real as possible, that would be a giga-chad legal move. (But illegal under the law that is being challanged)

If they can convince to anyone in the court room that the video is real evidence, then it proves their point. It would put Felon in a tough logical situation. He can continue his challange and the state will point to the deepfake of himself giving contradictory statements, or he can drop it and the state's lawyers then did a crime, and they open them selves up to another lawsuit.

Its a bold move cotton, lets see if it plays out.

If it is only used in court it isn't influencing an election. So they'd still be in the clear.
