Clearly drawn is hard to prosecute (and one might argue shouldn’t be prosecuted, since obscenity laws are just… weird). However, the stuff that is photorealistic can be treated, legally, like the real thing.

Fun fact it’s already illegal. If it’s indistinguishable from the real thing it’s a crime.

This is the way.

There have been a few articles on “herding” which I didn’t even know about before this election. I am no pollster, but it sounds like there’s a huge incentive to protect the reputation of the polling firm (“it’s a draw, so we can’t be wrong”) vs reporting numbers they think might make news.
