Dade Phelan’s Bill Would Criminalize Political Memes

Posting a political meme could soon land you in jail—if State Rep. Dade Phelan gets his way. House Bill 366 would make it a crime to distribute altered media, including political memes, without a government-approved disclaimer. Violators could face up to a year in jail. The State Affairs Committee will take up the bill by the former speaker of the House on Wednesday, alongside a slate of energy transmission legislation. It is the first hearing of the committee on legislation this session. The bill specifically targets political advertising that features an “image, audio recording, or video recording of an officeholder’s or candidate’s appearance, speech, or conduct that did not occur in reality.” This broad language includes media altered using generative artificial intelligence technology. The Texas Ethics Commission would have the authority to determine the specific format, font, size, and color of the required disclaimer.

Texas state legislature is a mess. They need to move the capitol out of Austin. The place is a disaster.

Houston, San Antonio, or Dallas isn't going to be much better.

Does it matter? Should Republicans be protected when they do stupid shite, or something?

Has nothing to do with the location. Has everything to do with RINOs like Phaeln usurping the GOP

In response to the comment I quoted yes. The truth matters

No, he is a piece of shite establishment Republican who everyone here would hate if they had heard of him. That matters.
He = Romney
To not say that is deception by omission, which come to think of it is part of lawyering 101.

Even then, he's nowhere close to "the Left", which is what I responded to and quoted

He orchestrated the left running the house, call them dems or republicans, if that makes you happy, but they are your leftist blood brothers

The title is very misleading. No 'ban' on memes, it just says that altered audio, photo, video need to be labeled as modified.
Are people overlooking the phrase "without a government-approved disclaimer."?
Is that really such a bad idea? We've seen plenty of fake stuff posted here that garnered page after page of comments, assuming it was real. The couple of posts that point out that it is fake get buried in the noise.
I've come across stuff, and wondered, 'is that real?', but I don't have time to research it, so I ignore it. But many others fall for it.
