French President Emmanuel Macron criticized Facebook for its refusal to remove a video generated by artificial intelligence that claims a coup took place in France. The video, which has been viewed over 13 million times, has raised concerns among international leaders, but Meta, Facebook's parent company, stated that it does not violate the platform's rules. Macron emphasized that, despite his power, he cannot influence the decisions of social networks, thus highlighting the challenges democracies face in the face of disinformation. He also called for stricter measures at the European level to sanction platforms that do not cooperate in combating fake news. This situation reflects a broader problem related to disinformation affecting France and other countries, especially in the context of Russian information manipulation operations.
