Misinformation expert Jeff Hancock was accused of citing fake sources in his written affidavit supporting a new anti-misinformation law in Minnesota, according to an independent news organization.
The state's attorney general asked Hancock, a Stanford University professor and founding director of the Stanford Social Media Lab, to submit a supporting statement for a proposed law banning AI-generated content that influences elections, the Minnesota Reformer reported. The law is currently being challenged in federal court for allegedly violating the First Amendment.
