When the first amendment was drafted 233 years ago do you think they anticipated that one day anyone would be able to speak in anyone else's voice, indistinguishably from if they had actually said it? The constitution does occasionally need re-evaluating in light of new technology, like when the right to bear arms was effectively narrowed to the right to bear some arms when the most powerful weapons vastly outstripped what the general public could reasonably be expected to handle. Few people will unironically argue that 2A means that everyone should be allowed to have a nuke.
- kolanos 2y agoDo we outlaw highly skilled impressionists? Pretty sure those existed 233 years ago.
- kstrauser 2y agoHighly skilled impressionists portraying themselves as the real thing? Yes. That’s fraud.
- kolanos 2y agoBut if we make it clear the impressionist is doing an impression of a famous person we're good? Because this law disregards that, you can clearly label something as "fake" and it doesn't matter, you're still liable as long as it appears authentic. A good impressionist would appear authentic.
