So is the JD Vance couch joke illegal now? Or is it only materially deceptive if it's from one party?

There are countless real opportunities to dunk on dems and/or Kamala, but really, the regulation of Deepfakes is not it...

There’s no such thing as regulating speech in the US.

Supreme Court rulings are not regulations.

Also this is a law, not a regulation.

I don't intend to fight for the term "regulation". Let's replace it by "codification in law", if you will. My point remains though. Let's stop pretending Free Speech is limitless. As society evolves, limitations to free speech have been implemented, to mitigate threats. The ones that are coming for deep fakes will just be another one. One that is, imo, well needed.

I never said free speech was limitless. 

There are clear Supreme Court cases addressing falsity and parody. 

“Deepfake” is an ambiguous term and will likely be struck down by the court. California doesn’t get to decide how the 1st Amendment works. That’s not how our legal system is set up.
