The provided URL does contain the excerpted wording, and the page is dated June 24, 2019; however, the article is by Hayley Tsukayama, India McKinney, and Jamie Williams, not by Electronic Frontier Foundation as a single author. Because the source has multiple individual authors, this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote record.

The source URL does contain the quoted wording in substance: the article says "malicious deepfakes," then "the bill imposes criminal penalties" for conduct including "interfere in an election," and continues, "The First Amendment generally bars criminal laws" that impose penalties without showing harm. However, the page’s byline attributes the article to Hayley Tsukayama, India McKinney, and Jamie Williams—not to "Electronic Frontier Foundation" as the author—so this is present but misattributed.
