Earlier this week, several AI-generated videos claiming a coup d’état in France were posted on Facebook. The fake clips quickly went viral, prompting outrage from the Élysée Palace. An investigation by Le Monde revealed that a young Burkinabé student, eager to make a name for himself, was behind the videos. The incident highlights how platforms like Meta still lack robust safeguards against the spread of fake content, as FRANCE 24’s Emerald Maxwell explains.
