Year 2025 is acceptable. Quote attributes to Public Knowledge (digital policy group) a free-expression critique that legislation prohibiting deceptive AI-generated election media "could potentially infringe on political speech [...] it lacks any requirement that the content actually be deceptive in intent or in effect." The vote "against" on statement 417 (Prohibiting deceptive AI-generated media of federal election candidates) aligns correctly with this critical, free-speech-protective stance, which is consistent with Public Knowledge's known advocacy. However, the source_url is a PDF on publicknowledge.org that returns HTTP 403 via WebFetch and is blocked by the environment's network allowlist on direct download ("Host not in allowlist"), so I could not access the document to confirm the quote. Web search did not surface this exact passage. Marking ai_unverifiable per protocol for inaccessible/blocked sources.
