  • One Texas Republican said the legislation could give "people up to a year in jail for failing to attach a disclosure to a cartoon."

The article from Newsweek discusses a proposed bill in Texas, House Bill 2789, which aims to regulate the use of "deep fakes" in political advertising. The bill, introduced by Representative Jeff Leach, would require political ads containing digitally altered media to include a disclaimer stating that the content has been manipulated. This has led to concerns and confusion among internet users, with some believing that the bill could potentially ban political memes. However, the bill specifically targets deep fake technology and does not mention memes. The legislation comes in response to the growing use of deep fakes in political campaigns, as seen in the 2020 election cycle. If passed, the bill would impose fines of up to $4,000 for non-compliance, but it would not criminalize the creation or sharing of political memes.
