# Meta AI and deepfake content moderation response > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/meta-ai-and-deepfake-content-moderation-response > Updated: 2026-09-17T10:08:40.000Z. Sources: 8. Developments: 2. Meta is facing increasing pressure to address the risks posed by generative AI and deepfakes through both government cooperation and internal policy reform. In the Philippines, Meta has pledged to work more closely with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC), and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). This commitment aims to improve the removal of harmful AI-generated content and enhance protection for minors following concerns regarding online safety and cybercrime. Concurrently, Meta’s Oversight Board has criticized the company’s current content moderation policies as ‘consistently and fundamentally inadequate’ to address the rapid rise of AI-generated deepfakes. The Board issued binding rulings to remove specific manipulated videos that Meta had previously declined to take down, including a deepfake of a Scottish Labour Party councillor falsely depicted making hateful comments about refugees, and a manipulated video of a Muslim woman activist intended to undermine her professional credibility. To address these gaps, the Oversight Board has proposed nine policy recommendations. These include creating a dedicated Community Standard for AI-generated content, implementing technical measures such as ‘High Risk’ labels and provenance metadata, and treating AI-generated impersonations of private individuals as non-consensual by default. The Board noted that deepfakes are increasingly being utilized to harass and silence women in public life. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-17: Meta Oversight Board slams inadequate deepfake safeguards Meta’s Oversight Board has ruled that the company’s deepfake safeguards are ‘fundamentally inadequate,’ ordering the removal of manipulated videos targeting a UK politician and a Muslim activist. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/meta-oversight-board-proposes-new-deepfake-and-ai-policies ### 2026-08-27: Meta pledges improved cooperation with Philippine authorities on online safety Meta has pledged to improve cooperation with Philippine authorities to combat AI-generated deepfakes and enhance online safety for children following high-level meetings in Singapore. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/meta-pledges-improved-cooperation-with-philippine-authorities-on-online-safety --- Cite as: Meta AI and deepfake content moderation response.
