What happens if a candidate or their social media team retweets a meme?
That... is a good point. I mean, if the meme has a clearly fake image in it, then I'd assume they'd have to have a disclaimer... like the "I'm so and so and I approved this" sort of thing. I am NOT saying I agree with it in any way, shape form or fashion. But...given the deepfake stuff that can happen, I guess I do get THAT side of it. But yeah, there's an opportunity to overreach. Of course, we've never known the government to overreach before, so why would they start now?

The House is run by a bunch of democrats disguised as republicans.

Big reason why Abbott can’t get some shite done.

What’s up with the Texas cuck republican legislature?
Was it a Trojan horse event where unknown Dems posed at conservatives to get elected? Really odd phenomenon

Do you not know how memes work?
Why did you leave out the word “advertisement”?

Made it more alarmist and dire sounding.

Because that wouldn't get the non readers all lathered up.

That's almost as bad as having hate speech laws.

I guess TX has never heard of the First Amendment.
We mostly majored in the second amendment in Texas.

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.
lol, keep believing this bullshite
the patriot act was created to protect americans, not steal our rights, as they add more to it.

Texas is red but they actually might do more embarrassing shite than GA.
Posted on 4/30/25 at 6:32 am to stout
Wait, hang on. I thought Texas was full of courageous people. Do memes really scare big old Texans so much that a bill like that passes so resoundingly?

Why limit it the the retweet? What about the original poster?
Does this only apply to official candidates and PACs or does it apply to individuals that support a candidate also?

Text of amendment :
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Chapter 255, Election Code, is amended by adding
Section 255.0015 to read as follows:
Sec. 255.0015. REQUIRED DISCLOSURE ON CERTAIN POLITICAL ADVERTISING CONTAINING ALTERED MEDIA; CRIMINAL PENALTY. (a) This section applies only to a person who:
(1) is an officeholder, candidate, or political committee;
(2) makes expenditures during a reporting period that in the aggregate exceed $100 for political advertising, other than an expense to cover the basic cost of hardware, messaging software, and bandwidth; or
(3) publishes, distributes, or broadcasts political advertising described by Subsection (b) in return for consideration.
(b) A person may not, with the intent to influence an election, knowingly cause to be published, distributed, or broadcast political advertising that includes an image, audio recording, or video recording of an officeholder's or candidate's appearance, speech, or conduct that did not occur in reality, including an image, audio recording, or video recording that has been altered using generative artificial intelligence technology, unless the political advertising includes a disclosure from the person or another person on whose behalf the political advertising is published, distributed, or broadcast indicating that the image, audio recording, or video recording did not occur in reality.
…….
By law it only applies to an officeholder, candidate, or political committee.
And it sounds no different than requiring text similar to those medical ads where it states, “not a real doctor” when someone walks in wearing a lab coat with a stethoscope around their neck before delivering what sounds like a medical opinion.
