It's illegal in California.


Not just California. Non-consensual deepfake porn is explicitly federally illegal now.

Ted Cruz's "Take It Down" Act passed last year: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/146

(This may or may not be constitutional in the end, but it's certainly current law on the books.)

1. What specifically is? Posting twitter comments? Prompting an ML model? Generating images based on existing images?

2. Even if so, states are not allowed to make unconstitutional laws. 1stA covers this, as far as I can tell. Do you read Roth or Miller differently?

Posting such images is illegal, i.e. it’s the user who has violated the law.


But the user isn't posting the image, Grok is. The user can't even delete the image if Grok generated something the user doesn't want.


Ah, that’s a terrible implementation then.


It’s seems as though you’re being deliberately obtuse. It’s obvious why this is illegal.
