DICT urges Zuckerberg to address fake news, deepfakes on Facebook
The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has urged Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to address the escalating issue of fake news and harmful content, including AI-generated deepfakes, on the platform.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda sent a letter to Zuckerberg expressing the urgent need for action to prevent Facebook from becoming a toxic online space.
Aguda highlighted that the unchecked spread of fake news and deepfakes is not confined to Facebook but is also migrating to other social media and messaging platforms.
The DICT's primary request to Meta, Facebook's parent company, is to deploy additional content moderation teams in the Philippines to swiftly remove problematic content.
