The Babylon Bee filed a lawsuit against the state of California on Monday after Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a series of “deepfake” laws that target outlets that publish satire and parody.
The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and shared exclusively with The Daily Wire, begins by noting that in July of this year, Newsom tweeted that a parody video of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris should be “illegal.” “The legislature heard the call and passed two laws that forbid political expression under the label of ‘materially deceptive content,’” the lawsuit asserts.

The childish horror of being offended by a meme. The left is totally insane.
I’m pretty sure when the Bee interviewed Elon Musk and told him twitter had banned them because they refused to recant on naming “Rachel” Levine as Man of the Year that set in motion him buying twitter.
That's what giving oneself to evil does. Cf. Karl Meninger's "Whatever Became Of Sin." Liberals are evil to the core and have gone mad as a result. We cannot continue on this path for much longer. Something has to give.
Politicians *spit* and government officials *hock ptooey * are exactly the people for whom the 1st Amendment guarantees the right of the People to slap them around with words and satire.
“EXCLUSIVE: Babylon Bee Sues California Over Unprecedented Crackdown On Satire, Parody”
When you read a headline as in the above, two things should come to mind:
1. Has there EVER been a similar attempt by Conservatives to shut down speech that made fun of them?
2. If not, then just which side is the ‘threat to Democracy’?
Again showing the left has no sense of humor.
Deep State is terrified.
The meow heard round the world...
EAT THE CAT (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) [Starring President Trump] You WILL Laugh Out Loud!
well...it has been said that the typical liberal leftist dingbat has no real sense of humor and now we know for sure.
Isn't that strange that satire and parody would undermine the public's trust.
That is exactly the purpose of satire and parody. People satire and parody politicians that are not deserving of the public trust.
Yes, they are - along with being delusional and self-righteousness.
I suppose Orwell’s “Animal Farm” should be banned in California as well.
The left is insane and has no sense of humor
The leftists, like Newsom, are traitors and need to be indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
I’ve seen a few videos based on this, the this video is the best of all! I’ve never been able to catch all the lyrics, though. The cat that appears in the oven cracks me up.
I’m not a techie, but I figure there’s a way to download and save it in case it gets scrubbed some day.
So Saturday Night Live will have to run a banner on the screen during some of their skits?
That would have a huge problem for them back when it was funny and relevant, but not so much today.
California will pass a bill banning anyone from suing them for all the banning bills ,LOL

Perfect example of a 1A violation. Maybe they should jail politicians for lying. That’s “misinformation” too.
