"Parody is protected speech,” EFF’s @davidgreene told @nbcnews. Despite deepfakes’ growing sophistication, which can easily fool listeners, “it’s still important to have protection for commentary and parody.”

@eff @davidgreene @nbcnews Indeed important to have protection for parody.. but should it not be obvious to the listener that it is, in fact parody, and not genuine?
@lns @eff @davidgreene @nbcnews AFAIK fake news are also protected as free speech in US.
I agree that actual parody shouldn't cross into disinformation; that's when it stops being a parody. And I believe actual parody should be protected also by private companies like some social media.
