“It’s become a censorship law, and there is no way that is going to survive,” Judge Mendez said.
In a bold move, Judge Mendez has put an end to California’s controversial attempt to regulate political speech online. His ruling emphasizes that the state’s legislation, known as AB 2655, was fundamentally a censorship law. This decision underscores the importance of protecting free speech, particularly in the digital age where political discourse is increasingly intertwined with technology.
A federal judge just shut down California’s attempt to police political speech online
The recent ruling marks a significant victory for advocates of free speech. Judge Mendez highlighted that the law aimed to control how political speech is expressed on social media platforms, which many perceived as an overreach of government authority. By shutting down AB 2655, he has made it clear that attempts to regulate online political expression could face serious legal challenges.
Without even needing the First Amendment to do it
Interestingly, Judge Mendez’s ruling did not rely on the First Amendment to make his case. This aspect is particularly noteworthy, as it suggests that there are broader legal principles at play that protect free expression beyond the constitutional guarantees. The ruling has sparked discussions about the balance between regulation and freedom in the age of artificial intelligence and digital communication.

AB 2655 was sold as protection against AI
While AB 2655 was marketed as a protective measure against the potential harms of artificial intelligence in political discourse, the judge’s decision indicates that the law ultimately failed to uphold the values of open dialogue and expression. As the debate over AI and its role in society continues, it’s crucial to ensure that laws do not inadvertently stifle free speech.
