California Governor Newsom Signs Controversial Meme Ban Bill on Constitution Day
Sep 18, 2024, 04:56 AM
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a controversial bill that effectively bans certain types of memes and parody content in the state. The new law, which critics argue violates the First Amendment, targets political memes and AI-generated parodies, sparking a significant backlash. Newsom's decision, made on Constitution Day, has been widely criticized for infringing on free speech, with many pointing out the irony of him potentially violating his own law. The legislation has led to widespread condemnation from various quarters, including accusations of hypocrisy and concerns about the broader implications for free speech and political satire.
