As the 2024 U.S. elections approach, the use of AI deepfakes and other forms of disinformation is on the rise.
Scammers are leveraging advanced technology to spread false information about candidates and voter registration, often through social media and text messages. California has introduced new legislation to combat these tactics, but concerns remain about the balance between free speech and preventing election interference.
Voters are urged to stay vigilant and informed to avoid being misled by deceptive content.

This is exactly why we need stronger regulations on both tech companies and elections. AI deepfakes are getting so realistic, and they seriously threaten democracy if people can’t tell what’s real anymore. I get that free speech is important, but disinformation and election interference are not protected speech. California’s legislation is a good start, but it’s not enough — this has to be addressed on a national level. We need to hold tech platforms accountable for the lies they allow to spread. Voters deserve to make decisions based on facts, not manipulated videos.
Instead of more government regulations, maybe we should let people make their own decisions and hold tech companies accountable for enabling this mess.
