    1. The law applies only to office holders, candidates, campaigns, or to people who buy or sell political advertising.
    2. People and platforms who post and distribute content without exchanging money are exempted.
    3. All the big media firms: tv, radio, ISPs, Internet content platforms, and billboard operators are exempted when they just run someone else’s ads. The people who are liable are the ones who place the ads.
    4. The requirement is to include a disclosure message when depictions of a public figure have been altered by technology: Photoshop, AI, deepfake audio, or whatever else. The content itself is not censored, it just has to be noticed that it’s artificial.
    5. “Superficial” alterations are exempted from the notice message, for example, changing the color balance on a video.
