“If we determine that an advertiser doesn’t disclose as required,” Meta said in its blog post Wednesday, “we will reject the ad and repeated failure to disclose may result in penalties against the advertiser.”
Now I'm gonna put this blindfold on and you just leave the money on the desk. Make sure you don't break our super serious ad rules that we totally enforce or else the consequences will be super serious and totally enforced!
they will police deepfakes just as well as phishing and scams
Lmao I've reported so many scams in buy&sell groups and I always get a response that the posts don't violate community guidelines.
"Hey honey, look, Morgan Freeman and Reverend Al Sharpton are having a fistfight over who loves Trump more! See!? We can't be racist!"
how about just not allowing them in the first place?
Comedy
I think there are a lot of places for comedy besides paid ads that will mislead people. There's no good reason to allow political deep fakes in advertising.
I read the comment as saying banning deepfakes in general, but then again there could be comedy deepfakes for political purposes that wouldn't work as well with a big disclaimer. Like a deepfake JFK saying that an assault weapon ban would take away the right to assassinate presidents or something.
Shouldn't it be a law?
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
