the evidence

John Locke's consent theory establishes that legitimate government requires citizens to agree based on genuine understanding of their choices.

Deepfakes violate this foundational democratic principle by manufacturing fraudulent consent through deception about candidate identities and positions.

the claim

Democratic legitimacy requires informed consent, which deepfakes undermine by creating false representations of candidate positions.

This normative principle establishes that voter autonomy depends on authentic information about candidates, making deepfake prohibition essential to democratic theory.
