The quote clearly implies opposition: it says government should not "use the force of law to punish speech" whether it is "true or false" and raises "significant First Amendment problems," which directly covers a law banning deceptive AI-generated election media.

The quote says it is "not the business of the government to use the force of law to punish speech" and warns of "significant First Amendment problems," which clearly opposes this kind of prohibition.

Business Insider’s article at the provided URL contains the quote attributed to David Loy. It includes his statement that it is “not the business of the government” to punish speech based on what government thinks is “true or false,” and separately says the law has “significant First Amendment problems.” The stored author, date (2025-05-02), source URL, and quoted content are consistent with the source.

Disputed
Business Insider’s May 2, 2025 article does attribute both statements to David Loy, and AOL/Yahoo syndications match it: he is quoted with a sentence beginning “not the business of the government...” and BI then separately reports that he said the law has “significant First Amendment problems.” But the submitted quote reverses that order and stitches the two statements together with an ellipsis, so it is not verbatim as presented.

AI Unverifiable
Source_url is a Business Insider article (2025-05); Claude Code is blocked from fetching businessinsider.com, and the dnyuz.com and yahoo.com syndications of the same article ("Constitutional law experts don't always agree with Elon Musk — but on X's deepfake lawsuit, some do") both returned HTTP 403. Web search corroborated the first clause verbatim: David Loy, legal director of the First Amendment Coalition, said the Minnesota deepfake law has "significant First Amendment problems." Author attribution (Loy, First Amendment Coalition legal director) and year (2025) are confirmed. The second clause (government shouldn't "use the force of law to punish speech ... true or false") is consistent with Loy's documented First Amendment position but I could not fetch the page to confirm it verbatim. Vote alignment is correct: Loy opposes the Minnesota deepfake election law on free-speech grounds, so the "against" vote on "Criminalizing deepfakes and malicious use of AI in electoral campaigns" matches his stance. Marking ai_unverifiable because the source and all syndications block fetching.
