X, owned by Elon Musk, sues to block California's deepfake law, citing free speech concerns.

X, owned by Elon Musk, has sued to block California's "Defending Democracy From Deepfake Deception Act," arguing it violates free speech. The law requires large platforms to remove AI-generated deepfakes related to elections within 120 days of voting. X claims it will lead to censorship and undermine First Amendment protections. The lawsuit follows a judge temporarily blocking a similar law on campaign ads.
