    I haven’t looked at this in depth, but some of the scholars I follow have suggested that this law is legally problematic, and there are good arguments to strike it down under the first amendment and section 230.

    Section 230 is the federal safe harbor law that shields social media from liability for their users content, provided they take certain reasonable steps to moderate the user content. The federal law will preempt this Minnesota state law if they conflict.

        So is adobe liable content created or altered in photoshop? You can see AI as an advanced computing platform that comes with a free “worker”. A worker that the user controls and the company can’t really.

          If Elon can make his AI spout right wing talking points, he can make it censor itself from making nude images of children, and if he can’t, he deserves the full weight of the law against him. This isn’t free speech, it’s csam, and I don’t care what excuses and get out clauses you want to invent, stopping it is right.

      Section 230 should only cover user contributed content, not corpo AI created content. And even then algorithm promoted content shouldn’t be covered either.
