>>The Supreme Court called spending money on political campaigns “expression” in the Citizens United decision, do you support that?
Yes... I do.
Why should Donald Trump be able to spend millions of his own money to create political speech, but I can not spend $1 along with 1 million of my friends to counter is. Contrary to what the common tag line is of "corporations are people now" the court recognized that corporations are made up of people, as such the people acting as a group ( corporation) are entitled to protections just as if they were acting alone as an individual.
>>So you’d be ok with someone using AI to generate an image of your self/spouse/child doing something unspeakably awful and putting it up on billboards around town with a suggestion that people take matters into their own hands?
Well that escalated quickly, that said in generally... I would probably consider that protected. The last part would be murky as I so recognize the "True Threat" doctrine, of course I am also a self defense absolutist along with a free expression absolutist, so if the hypothetical bill board expressed a true threat I believe it with in my ethical right to defend myself from that true threat.
