TikTok ran a deepfake ad of an AI MrBeast hawking iPhones for $2 โ€” 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.

Can Mr Beast sue til tok over this?

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

No, can only DMCA takedowns.

If he can find the creator or publisher, he can sue for misappropriation of name and likeness. It's a privacy tort.

However I think he already said he doesn't care

Section 230 will absolutely reign here.

[-] Ullallulloo@civilloquy.com 1 points 1 year ago

No, Section 230 protects TikTok as a platform. He would have to sue the ad creator.
