💨 Abstract

Elon Musk's social media platform X Corp. has filed a federal lawsuit challenging a Minnesota ban on deepfakes, arguing it infringes on First Amendment rights and is preempted by a 1996 federal statute. The law imposes criminal penalties for disseminating deepfakes intended to harm candidates or influence elections. Minnesota's Attorney General is reviewing the lawsuit, and the lawsuit is not the first constitutional challenge to the law.
