Parody is legal when it is obviously parody. If you are fooling people into thinking your altered content is legit, you've got legal exposure.

Section 230 says probably not.

Man, I don't think very much of Harris and I still can recognize that as obviously parody. If people don't recognize that as parody, I think the fault for that is pretty evenly split between Kamala Harris (because some of the ridiculous stuff in there actually is real) and the person not recognizing it (b/c as dumb as Harris is, even she isn't going to say some of that).

I don't think that should create legal exposure for anybody else.

I haven't watched the vid and was not referring to it. I was responding to Musk's statement.

ETA: looking back at it, Newsome may be making more of a name and likeness right argument. Using someone's voice likeness without their permission is legally problematic. I don't think saying it's parody gets you out of that, necessarily. Obviously voice mimicry has always been allowed. Using their actual voice though through digital tools.....that's something else. Especially if you mix and match actual statements with fabricated ones, leaving it up to the viewer to figure out which is which.

Some logical points but things like the media and POTUS saying "Trump said Nazis are good people" is 100 times worse.
