Meta’s independent Oversight Board has criticized the company’s handling of non-consensual deepfake pornography, stating that its policies and enforcement are inadequate. The board examined two cases where Meta failed to remove deepfake porn videos, despite them violating the platform’s rules against non-consensual intimate imagery. The report found that Meta’s policies lack clarity and specificity regarding deepfake pornography, leading to inconsistent enforcement. The board recommended that Meta update its policies to explicitly prohibit non-consensual deepfake pornography and improve its detection and removal processes. Additionally, the board urged Meta to provide more transparency around its content moderation practices and to collaborate with experts and stakeholders to address this issue effectively. The report highlights the ongoing challenges social media companies face in combating harmful deepfake content and protecting user privacy and safety.
