Elon Musk's social media platform X sues Minnesota over political deepfake ban
The social media platform X, run by Elon Musk, has filed a federal lawsuit challenging a Minnesota law barring the use of deepfakes to influence an election.
X, which is owned by billionaire Elon Musk and used to be called Twitter, filed a lawsuit yesterday, saying that ban is unconstitutional and that it's too vague so it would, quote, "lead to blanket censorship, including a fully protected core political speech."

NINA MOINI: And you did mention, just want to make sure people know, on the nonconsensual sexual deepfake videos, Minnesota also has a law against that.
