Quote: "S. 2770 is staggeringly overinclusive. [...] the prohibition alone would unacceptably chill protected speech. [...] pose a substantial obstacle to the prohibition of AI-produced media." — Ari Cohn, TechFreedom (2023). The source_url (techfreedom.org PDF) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch (an identical copy exists at rules.senate.gov). A web search confirmed the substance of the testimony: Cohn argued "S. 2770 is also overinclusive because it prohibits much speech that poses little risk of harm" and that the bill "presents an exceptionally high risk of chilling and censoring protected political expression," citing its "staggering breadth and temporal scope." The composite quote (two [...] truncations, within allowance) accurately reflects these points. Author attribution correct (Ari Cohn, Free Speech Counsel at TechFreedom). Vote alignment correct: statement "Prohibiting deceptive AI-generated media of federal election candidates," vote "against," matching his First Amendment opposition to S. 2770. Year note: quote is 2023; no 2025/2026 Cohn statement on this specific bill was found, so no replacement created. Verified on confirmation of testimony substance and correct attribution/vote; source PDF blocks automated fetching.
