A federal judge has blocked a new California law that allowed anyone to sue for damages over election deepfakes, citing constitutional concerns. The law, AB 2839, was signed by Governor Gavin Newsom on September 17 and aimed to prevent the spread of AI-generated deepfakes that could be used to mislead voters. However, Judge John A. Mendez ruled that the law was unconstitutional, stating that it likely violates the First Amendment and stifles free speech.
