Meta's Oversight Board Calls for Deepfake Policy Overhaul

Recommendations include clearer terminology and stronger measures against non-consensual content

Meta's Oversight Board criticized the company's handling of explicit deepfake images of public figures.
The Board suggested replacing 'derogatory' with 'non-consensual' in Meta's policy language.
Meta is urged to classify AI-generated explicit images under 'adult sexual exploitation' instead of 'bullying and harassment.'
The U.S. Senate passed a bill enabling victims of explicit deepfakes to sue creators for damages.
The new UK government plans to criminalize the creation of non-consensual sexualized deepfakes.
