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.


I fell for the clickbait, then.

The above quoted is reasonable.

Cute coming from the lifelong democrat which only survives by expanding government and cheating.

Never thought Texas would take away free speech but here we are I guess. This could potentially set up a very dangerous precedence.

Do the RINOs dominate the Texas legislature?

nm... I see the bill passed after exiting the committee.

The Texas right wing meme sharing posters here should be very nervous.

I wouldn't worry this proposed bill is in violation of the 1st Amendment.

Try reading the text of the bill and not click bait headlines or the rantings of the uninformed that believe the OP's blatantly false thread title.

This only applies to political advertising and basically says that you can publish false/fake/farked/A.I. generated content that never happened, so long as you add the required disclaimer that it's false/fake/farked/A.I. generated content. Failure to include the disclaimer would be a criminal offense.

Imagine Dems using A.I. on say, Byron Donald in his run for Governor, and the ads started by showing Donald's saying something like, "we need to round up the Jews" when it never happened. That shite should be illegal and that's what this bill is aimed at.

And you could still make and post all the political memes your heart desires. This is geared towards deep fakes of completely fake origin made and/or spread by people affiliated with campaigns or campaign advertising.

ETA: No one reads anymore.

No way bro... He's totes a real conservative / "Libertarian." Nevermind that he takes the progressive left's and Democrats' side on pretty much every issue on this board.

Reading and understanding what is written into a bill is hard for most of you.

Ive said it many times on here. Texas has been a neocon stronghold for 50 years at least. Those folks love censorship and top down control. Abbott, Patrick, all of them. Just look at Abbott's ridiculous response to the city of San Marcos. Lockstep with Israel.

I read. I don't see a problem with this. If the powers that be didn't work to keep the populace dumb, this wouldn't be an issue.
