A Court Made Meta Unmask the Troll Posting AI Fakes of Graham Norton

Graham Norton won a US court order that will force Meta to reveal the source behind a series of AI-generated and factually inaccurate Facebook posts about the presenter, which caused him significant alarm, distress and anxiety. The account, the Westminster Wire, had been running since December and publishing AI-generated images of the presenter and his husband as well as fabricated stories about his personal life every few hours, including a false report of his mother’s death. The harm here is plain, a man telling a court his elderly mother read of her own death online. It took a federal judge to make Meta name the source it had been carrying for months.
