Musk Sues Keith Ellison – IOTW Report

Musk Sues Keith Ellison

MRC:

X owner Elon Musk is challenging a radical leftist attorney general about the enforcement of a law that would likely make online censorship explode during election cycles. 

X filed an April 23 lawsuit against Soros-funded Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. Ellison is responsible for enforcing a law that criminalizes posting images and videos or “deep fakes” made by artificial intelligence featuring political candidates. The law imposes prison sentences of up to five years for repeat offenders or a fine of up to $10,000 or both. Additionally, a candidate who violates this law may be prohibited from taking office for this speech. Minnesota, like Romania, is placing claims of fighting disinformation above the will of the people. 

The lawsuit warned that not only would the law target X directly, but it would push censorship across all social media platforms. “Its requirements are so vague and unintelligible that social media platforms cannot understand what the statute permits and what it prohibits, which will lead to blanket censorship, including of fully protected, core political speech,” the complaint reads. read more
