11 Nov 2023 Jahr - Deepfake Audio of Sadiq Khan Circulated by Far Right

Beschreibung:

Police say faked audio purporting to capture the Mayor of London calling for Armistice Day to be re-scheduled for a pro-Palestinian march "does not constitute a criminal offence".

Sadiq Khan's office said false material was being "circulated and amplified by a far-right group".

A Met spokesperson said specialist officers had reviewed the content.

They described it as "artificial audio" that had been brought to the attention of the force.

Security minister Tom Tugendhat said he was aware of the fake and called for people not to "repost or amplify it".

It came as the Met prepared for an unprecedented security operation ahead of a pro-Palestine demonstration in London on Armistice Day on Saturday.
