FB removes deepfake video of Zelensky

Facebook’s parent company, Meta has announced that it removed a deepfake video of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asking citizens to “lay down arms” amid Russia’s ongoing war on Kiev.

In the video, Zelensky appears to stand behind a presidential podium and in front of a backdrop, both of which feature the Ukrainian coat of arms.

Wearing a green shirt, Zelensky speaks in Ukrainian, appearing to tell his countrymen to put down their weapons, reports Sky News.

However, Nathaniel Gleicher, Meta’s head of security, on Wednesday tweeted that the video had been removed from the company’s platforms.
