TikTok ran a deepfake ad of an AI MrBeast hawking iPhones for $2 — and it’s the ‘tip of the iceberg’::As AI spreads, it brings new challenges for influencers like MrBeast and platforms like TikTok aiming to police unauthorized advertising.

      So you see this as specifically a tiktok problem and not a tech problem? Do you think it won’t/hasn’t happened elsewhere, and will be only a tiktok problem? I don’t use tiktok, or care about it but I feel like every problem with it is something endemic to social media platforms run by businesses atm.

        Sorry, just blurting an admittedly off-topic idea. No, I don’t think TikTok is the problem here…

        But why isn’t TikTok banned? It is cancer.

      Maybe it’s a bad idea for the government to completely shutdown a private business?

      Maybe it’s because of the first amendment violations the government silencing a social network would entail.

      Maybe it’s because we are attempting to be a democracy and have due process available to all entities that operate within the United States?

      Just a thought.

      Because its a overstep of government power. How would that be enforced? The US couldn’t even manage to get rid of alcohol let alone software.
