California Governor Newsom Signs AB-2655 to Ban Deepfake Content on September 18
Sep 18, 2024, 03:57 AM
Governor Gavin Newsom of California has signed AB-2655 on September 18, a new law aimed at curbing the distribution of materially deceptive content, including deepfakes. This legislation comes in response to a viral meme and could potentially force platforms like X to ban such content. The law has sparked significant controversy, with critics accusing Newsom of overreach and infringing on free speech. Some have noted that Newsom is bragging about the ban, and it has been pointed out that the law could even outlaw his own tweets. Proponents argue that it is necessary to combat misinformation and protect the integrity of election communications.
