Safeguard General Election integrity from deepfake content and sanction failing platforms
Conclusion
The Government and regulatory authorities, informed by the work of the Defending Democracy Taskforce, should safeguard the integrity of the upcoming General Election campaign in its approach to the online platforms that host deepfake content which seeks to exert a malign influence on the democratic process. If these platforms are found to have been slow to remove such content, or to have facilitated its spread, regulators must take stringent enforcement action—including holding senior leadership personally liable and imposing financial sanctions.
