X Corp.Fights Against Minnesota's Ban on Deepfakes: A Battle Over Free Speech Rights.

X Corp., owned by Elon Musk, is fighting a Minnesota law. The company says the law about deepfakes breaks free speech rules. X Corp. also says a federal law protects social media from being responsible for what people post.

The company thinks the law is too strict. They say it could stop people from posting jokes about elections. Minnesota's law punishes people for sharing fake videos or audio that could harm a candidate.

The law says a deepfake must be very real to be against the rules. It has to be made with AI or other technology. A Minnesota senator says Musk is upset because the law stops him from spreading fake information.

The state's Attorney General will defend the law in court. They say they are reviewing the lawsuit. Another case is already challenging the law. A judge did not stop the law from being used while the case continues.

A law professor thinks the law will be struck down. He says there's no rule against false political speech. He also says it might make social media censor too much. People want to believe misinformation, which is bad for democracy.
