Gavin Newsome revealed the anti-American beliefs of the DNC-CCP when he signed a bill passed by a Democratic Party super majority California legislature that attempted to make it illegal for Americans to create AI Deep Fake parodies targeting the 2024 election.
U.S. District Judge John A. Mendez ruled the law unconstitutional, stating in his ruling that the law was “a blunt tool that hinders humorous expression and unconstitutionally stifles the free and unfettered exchange of ideas. While California has a valid interest in protecting the integrity and reliability of the electoral process, AB 2839 is unconstitutional because it lacks the narrow tailoring and least restrictive alternative that a content based law requires under strict scrutiny,”

A federal judge has halted California’s new law targeting deepfake satire and parody videos, saying it likely tramples on the First Amendment.
U.S. District Judge John A. Mendez said deepfakes, which manipulate video to create scenes that never happened, can be abused for nefarious purposes.
But he said California’s attempt to shut it down was “a blunt tool that hinders humorous expression and unconstitutionally stifles the free and unfettered exchange of ideas.”
“While California has a valid interest in protecting the integrity and reliability of the electoral process, AB 2839 is unconstitutional because it lacks the narrow tailoring and least restrictive alternative that a content based law requires under strict scrutiny,” Judge Mendez said.
The ruling is a blow to Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat who had rushed to demand the law after he was angered by a viral satire video that used altered audio of Vice President Kamala Harris to make it seem like she was saying inane and politically damaging things.
