MODERATORS
- The law applies only to office holders, candidates, campaigns, or to people who buy or sell political advertising.
- People and platforms who post and distribute content without exchanging money are exempted.
- All the big media firms: tv, radio, ISPs, Internet content platforms, and billboard operators are exempted when they just run someone else's ads. The people who are liable are the ones who place the ads.
- The requirement is to include a disclosure message when depictions of a public figure have been altered by technology: Photoshop, AI, deepfake audio, or whatever else. The content itself is not censored, it just has to be noticed that it's artificial.
- "Superficial" alterations are exempted from the notice message, for example, changing the color balance on a video.

Disclaimer: Go fuck yourselves.
base fines on income as Finland does for traffic violations
The rich can always find ways around the law, including income-based fines. See the death of singer Kirsty McColl.
They can afford the best/worst lawyers
What does the average traffic violation set back the average person in Finland?
depends on their income
average
That's not how averages work
Few hundred euros if you’re minimum wage, IIRC
Holy shit I didn't know he was part of a gang
Specific to the fine: unless it scales with net worth/income.
Also, fuck Republicans.

Ms13 is everywhere they even alter images with their art department mspaint
Who are they going to pay to evaluate all the damn memes on the internet? What counts as alteration? Resizing, cropping, other basic photo manipulations that people use all the time? Has a politician ever used images of themselves without touch up?
Is that as high as he can count?
…11, 12, 13, man, camera, tv, Putin….
