What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A deepfake video targeting local councillor Dorothy McHugh was the subject of an independent review by the Oversight Board. The video, which appeared to show her making inflammatory comments about refugees, was ultimately ordered to be removed for containing hate speech against refugees. McHugh noted that the ruling did not address the fact that the video was convincingly fabricated.
