Celebrity Deepfake Porn Cases Will Be Investigated by Meta Oversight Board

In a move to address the growing concern of deepfake pornographic content featuring celebrities, Meta announced today that their oversight board will be investigating cases related to this issue. Deepfake technology has made it increasingly easy for malicious actors to create fake pornographic videos using the faces of well-known celebrities, often without their consent.

The Meta oversight board, which is tasked with reviewing and making decisions on content moderation issues on the platform, will now specifically focus on cases of deepfake porn involving celebrities. This decision comes after numerous reports of fake videos circulating online, causing harm to the reputations and privacy of those targeted.

“We take the issue of deepfake porn very seriously and are committed to taking action to protect the integrity and safety of our users, especially high-profile individuals who are being unfairly targeted,” said a spokesperson for Meta.

The investigation by the oversight board is expected to bring more attention to the issue and provide a framework for addressing and preventing the spread of such content on the platform. It is hoped that this move will discourage the creation and dissemination of deepfake pornographic material and hold accountable those responsible for its production.

With the rise of deepfake technology, it is more important than ever to take proactive measures to combat its misuse and protect individuals from being exploited in this way. The Meta oversight board’s investigation into celebrity deepfake porn cases is a step in the right direction towards creating a safer online environment for all users.
