Texas SB366 Passes in the Texas House Criminalizing AI Generated Ads Lacking Disclaimers

On 4/29/2025, Dade Phelan’s SB366, which criminalizes AI generated political ads over $100, that lack a state approved disclaimer listed into a class A misdemeanor, passed the Texas State House of Representatives with a 106 to 39 vote. The measure will advance to the Senate for a vote. Many critics of the bill state that this is the beginning of further restrictions on speech and is a violation of first amendment rights. Proponents claims it is a necessary step in the digital age to provide clarity during elections. What do you think 🤔?
