Just days before Ireland heads to the polls to elect a new president, a video started making the rounds of independent progressive Catherine Connolly — who leads in polling — telling supporters she was dropping out of the race, automatically granting center-right candidate Heather Humphreys the presidency.
There’s just one small wrinkle: Connolly never actually withdrew. It was the latest case of a hoax perpetuated by a deepfake, meaning an AI-generated recording that misrepresents real people to spread disinformation or sow other types of chaos.
It all started on Meta’s Facebook, where a lookalike account called “RTÉ News AI,” after Ireland’s public service broadcaster, posted the 40 second clip, which was allowed to stay up for 12 hours. During that time, it garnered 30,000 views and was shared hundreds of times before the platform finally scrubbed it, according to The Irish Times.
This is so out of character for Meta /s
Cool let’s cook up some awesome and totally legal AI videos of Zuck since we’ve now decided to let consensus reality disintegrate into slop. This will be really good and beneficial for society.
Edit: generating realistic AI of real living human beings should probably be globally outlawed. I don’t really see any other way forward. The future of this technology looks extremely bleak and destructive.
Meta are the McDonalds of the digital age. They have brought nothing but headaches to humanity and are disgusting by nature. At least Twitter could boast in its heyday some kind of organizing virtue against the arbitrary.
Maybe it is TIME to throw META, out of Europe.
The real story is that it took them **12 hours** to take this crap down, while it accumulated tens of thousands of views
How long does it take a human to fact check this, 30 seconds?
Fine them a few million per hour after the first hour (or a few thousand for every viewer who saw it)
I guess its time to ban Meta in EU
Ireland is home to Meta’s European operations. Seems like a very stupid move for Meta to poke that bear (unintentionally or not).
Another reason Meta should be canceled. More lies and BS on Meta than anywhere else. X is a close second.
Suck’s companies have major interests in Ireland
It is unfuckingbelievable what these US tech platforms allow
There’s only one possible reaction by Ireland: the CEO of Meta Europe, who conveniently is sitting in Dublin, gets imprisoned until the video is deleted and every single user who had contact with it gets a correction on his or her home screen.
Dude, why don’t we fight fire with fire?
Make deep fake propaganda about stuff that the right didn’t do.
Everything from Facebook using children slaves, to amazon having private armies in africa.
That’ll get them to impose regulations quick as that.
I’d be happy enough if Facebook users didn’t vote
¯_(ツ)_/¯
These assholes don’t pay taxes to our localities, they sluff off any responsibility on the content they push as just users expressing themselves, they resist any form of moderation, they push to exploit our natural resources power etc.. until we pay out the teeth for electrical, they corrupt our elections, they manipulate our stock markets, they collapse our local business.
Exactly what is the upside to Meta or many other American tech firms? Why are we all expected to pay the cost and bare the consequences of their shit?
