Lisa J. Stevenson, Acting General Counsel Federal Election Commission 1050 First Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20463 Ms. Stevenson, As Members of Congress, we are committed to the safety and integrity of our election and democracy. We are writing to offer our support for Public Citizen's Petition for Rulemaking to Clarify the Law Against Fraudulent Misrepresentation Public Citizen is petitioning the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to clarify that 52 U.S.C. § 30124 includes deep fakes of an election candidate as a fraudulent misrepresentation. As you know, 52 U.S.C. §30124 prohibits a candidate for federal office or an employee or agent campaign ads to depict themselves or another candidate engaged in an action that did not happen or saying something the depicted candidate did not say. Come prie like Taylor Site his socia wed plate a promoting false endorsements The proliferation of deep-fake Al technology has the potential to severely misinform voters, causing confusion and disseminating dangerous falsehoods. It is critical for our democracy that this be promptly addressed, noting the degree to which Grok-2 has already been used to distribute fake content regarding the 2024 presidential election. We respectfully request the Commission expeditiously consider these recommendations and initiate the necessary emergency rulemaking process. We look forward to your response and working together to protect the integrity of our electoral system.

Bite your tongue!

When it comes to THREATS TO DEMOCRATS DEMOCRACY, any and all bureaucratic/autocratic powers should be employed.

We can not have free speech or free thought in this country.

Now be a good fascist and prepare to subjugate the criminals who do not worship the state and it's glorious administrators!

So silly. There will be 100 Grok AI clones doing the job, and the servers could be located in Tuvalu or Russia if need be.

This is as pointless as when Paramount tried to stop Star Trek fans from posting copyrighted images of the show on line. Spitting into a maelstrom.

Can we now go after all of the Democrats and their media agents for the false claims about what Trump said?

“As Members of Congress, we are committed to the safety and integrity of our election and democracy.”

FINALLY! A credible explanation for a 35 trillion dollar debt that is accumulating $1 trillion every three months.

No matter how many times you ask Grok to generate an image of Ilhan 0mar
it always creates a pic of her wearing a bomb vest.

It’s the first AI that doesn’t lie! :)

That sounds like something Joe and Kamala co-wrote using their combined legal skills.

I’m old enough to remember when Americans had a right free speech and were not under occupation. That America is dead.
