TikTok Removes False Video of Brazil's Finance Minister Haddad on 'Taxing the Poor' After AGU's 24-Hour Notification
Jan 21, 2025, 06:47 PM
The TikTok platform has removed a video that falsely attributed statements about 'taxing the poor' to Brazil's Finance Minister Fernando Haddad, following a notification from the Attorney General's Office (AGU). The AGU had given TikTok 24 hours to remove the video, which was manipulated using generative artificial intelligence. The video had been previously taken down but was reposted by the same user. The AGU argued that the content contained misleading and fraudulent information, violating the platform's terms of use and the right to information as per the Brazilian Constitution. The manipulated content aimed to confuse the public about Haddad's stance on matters of public interest.
