The *REAL* reason Musk tanked the budget deal [View all]

This is short. I was reading this New York Times piece this morning (I know, I know) about the year-end budget deal and everything that was in it.

This part jumped out:

Criminalizing the publication of “nonconsensual intimate visual depictions,” including deepfake pornography, and requiring social media platforms to have procedures in place to remove the content after being notified by a victim.


The real reason Elon Musk went ballistic over this bill was this provision. It makes revenge porn, including deepfakes, illegal.
