President Ersin Tatar issues a new statement about the fraudulent campaigns on social media
President Ersin Tatar has issued a new statement on the fraudulent campaigns on social media, which are using images of the President and his voice with the use of artificial intelligence.
The statement of President Tatar is as follows:
“In recent days, false and unethical ‘news’ are being deliberately spread through fake accounts using my name and voice with the use of artificial intelligence, which aims to defraud people and mislead the public. I strongly condemn this act. The use of false information to mislead the public and commit fraud is an irresponsible attempt that also aims to disrupt public peace.
The necessary legal process has been initiated against such disinformation campaigns, and an official complaint has been filed with our police. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus will continue its determination to protect democratic values and press ethics. We will never tolerate such attempts to mislead our society.
I strongly request that the public only trust information from official and reliable sources, and I expect all our citizens to show sensitivity about sharing correct information."
