Brit lawmaker targeted by AI deepfake fails to get answers from US Big TechAppearing before Parliament, Meta, Google and X struggle to explain how fake political video circulated for so longA member of the UK Parliament's lower house who was the victim of a deepfake AI campaign this week had a rare chance to confront the Big Tech executives who helped spread it. Their answers disappointed.Representatives from Meta, Google, and X stumbled, offered platitudes, and explained their respective policies, but did little to compensate for spreading the potentially ruinous AI fake, or commit to ensuring it could not happen again after Conservative MP George Freeman confronted them.,,,Addressing these responses, Freeman said: "It feels to me as though the platforms are taking the approach that 'they've got a policy' and not policing actively. It falls to us as Parliamentarians to police it. My instinct is to pass a very simple law that somebody's identity belongs to them and cannot be stolen, used, misappropriated, whatever the purpose⦠You should go to bed a night not fearing that in the morning, you find a deeply damaging, disruptive and dangerous misrepresentation of you."https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/26/brit_law_maker_fails_to/#uk #ukpol #google #meta #twitter #ReformUK #BigTech #usa
