Kohls states he is defending "all Americans' right to satirize politicians," suggesting the laws infringe on free speech, especially regarding satire and parody.
California's AB 2655 and AB 2839 prohibit creating deceptive media related to candidates within specific pre-election windows, requiring platforms to take down such content.
The laws aim to prevent election interference by banning deceptive media created with malice, but Kohls argues this censorship stifles legitimate political commentary.
Critics, including Kohls, believe these new laws may chill free expression and adversely impact satire, a crucial aspect of political discourse.
