AI Verified The provided AP News article contains the exact sentence verbatim: “We’re confident the courts will uphold the state’s ability to regulate these types of dangerous and misleading deepfakes,” and it appears immediately after “Izzy Gardon, a spokesperson for Newsom,” followed by “he said in a statement,” which supports attribution to Gardon.

AI Verified The source_url (apnews.com) could not be fetched by the tool, but the quote was independently confirmed verbatim via web search across multiple outlets (CBS, US News, Seattle Times). Izzy Gardon, a spokesperson for Gov. Gavin Newsom, said in response to the federal judge blocking California's election-deepfake law (Oct 2024): "We're confident the courts will uphold the state's ability to regulate these types of dangerous and misleading deepfakes." Author attribution is correct. Vote alignment checks out: the statement is "Criminalizing deepfakes and malicious use of AI in electoral campaigns," and Gardon defends the state's authority to regulate election deepfakes, so a "for" vote is appropriate. This is a 2024 reaction tied to a specific event. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 8d ago
