📢 Misleading a voter is anti-American

Amazon's Alexa is claiming the 2020 was stolen.

There is a troubling rise in the use of deep fake videos and audio to mislead the American voters. And now the Washington Post is reporting that Amazon’s Alexa has been claiming the 2020 election was stolen.

“If major corporations are helping to give life to the ‘big lie’ years after the fact, they’re enabling the animating narrative of American domestic extremism to endure,” said Glick, who now serves as a policy counsel at the Georgetown University Law Center’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection. “They should be doing everything they can to stop the ‘big lie’ in its tracks, lest we see history repeat itself.”¹

AI-generated “deepfake” voice clips and videos

AI-generated “deepfake” voice clips and videos can be used to impersonate a candidate or political party, misleading voters and dishonestly skewing their views of the person or group impersonated. Examples of these dangerous fakes include a fake video of Biden and a fake video of Trump.

As champions for progress, we are advocating for restrictions on the use of audio and video deepfake technology created without the expressed written consent of the individual or entity being represented for a political purpose. Campaign ads would still be able to use parody or make statements critical of other candidates or political parties by way of text or images.

I believe in the power of the people. I have seen the love and determination of folks stepping up to write letters and postcards to voters, signing petitions and letter campaigns, making calls, sending texts, hitting doors, and dropping literature. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices. - Laurie Woodward Garcia, People Power United
