Having to clarify satire ruins its point. In a case against a man who creatd a fake Facebook page of his police department and was subsequently raided, the Onion submitted this amicus brief: https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-293/242292/2022...
It's really quite interesting to read at some point, but I believe that nobody should have to "clarify it was doctored". Because that image was also very obviously fake - it's literally a meme template, and nobody should be prosecuted for that. I do have to question your judgement if you believe that is real.
I honestly don't really understand how it is not obvious, so I question if those decisions are made in bad faith. It's literally a meme template, and that's somehow not obvious?
I'm not speaking from a legal standpoint, I'm speaking from a common sense moral one. We cannot cater to the most mentally challenged in society to make sure they cannot harm themselves.
Satire is entirely ruined once you put a /s behind it. Let me quote the Onion here -
The court’s decision suggests
that parodists are in the clear only if they pop the bal-
loon in advance by warning their audience that their
parody is not true. But some forms of comedy don’t
work unless the comedian is able to tell the joke with
a straight face. Parody is the quintessential example.
Parodists intentionally inhabit the rhetorical form of
their target in order to exaggerate or implode it—and
by doing so demonstrate the target’s illogic or absurd-
ity.
Put simply, for parody to work, it has to plausibly
mimic the original.
