President Macron may be overthrown… An AI-generated fake report about a power takeover in Paris went viral on social media

This fake story became a real virus, gathering 13 million views. Initially, it brought a smile to Macron's face, but when he instructed his team to notify Meta about the fake, the company surprised the president by refusing to remove the video, stating that it did not violate the platform's rules. "These people are mocking us. They undermine the sovereignty of democracies and put us at risk. I believe I have more influence than most... But it doesn't work. We seem unprepared," Macron commented, referring to American tech companies.
Scenes generated by artificial intelligence were so convincing that they caught the attention of one of the leaders of an African state, who asked Macron about what was happening: "Dear President, what is happening in your country?" as reported by France 24.

As of Wednesday, this video remained available online, with only a small note stating that "the content may have been created using digital technologies to create a plausible appearance."
