I wish people would stop posting this. First - the bill is in the Senate so nothing is official. Second - it doesn't criminalize memes. The bill is designed to go after people making political advertising with deep-fake or AI ads trying to influence voters against a candidate. The Texas lege site has an "analysis" column under the bill and it specifically says political advertising, and spells out who it is geared towards.
This is the 3rd or 4th tweet I've seen on this, and everyone is copying the first guy.
