Fake Pope sermons go viral, fuelling fears over AI misinformation
WASHINGTON, June 6 — AI-generated videos and audios of Pope Leo XIV are populating rapidly online, racking up views as platforms struggle to police them. An AFP investigation identified dozens of YouTube and TikTok pages that have been churning out AI-generated messages delivered in the pope's voice or otherwise attributed to him since he took charge of the Catholic Church last month. The hundreds of fabricated sermons and speeches, in English and Spanish, underscore how easily hoaxes created using artificial intelligence can elude detection and dupe viewers. 'There's natural interest in what the new pope has to say, and people don't yet know his stance and style,' said University of Washington professor emeritus Oren Etzioni, founder of a nonprofit focused on fighting deepfakes. 'A perfect opportunity to sow mischief with AI-generated misinformation.' After AFP presented YouTube with 26 channels posting predominantly AI-generated pope content, the platform terminated 16 of them for violating its policies against spam, deceptive practices and scams, and another for violating YouTube's terms of service. 'We terminated several channels flagged to us by AFP for violating our Spam policies and Terms of Service,' spokesperson Jack Malon said. The company also booted an additional six pages from its partner program allowing creators to monetize their content. TikTok similarly removed 11 accounts that AFP pointed out — with over 1.3 million combined followers — citing the platform's policies against impersonation, harmful misinformation and misleading AI-generated content of public figures. 'Chaotic uses' With names such as 'Pope Leo XIV Vision,' the social media pages portrayed the pontiff supposedly offering a flurry of warnings and lessons he never preached. But disclaimers annotating their use of AI were often hard to find — and sometimes non-existent. On YouTube, a label demarcating 'altered or synthetic content' is required for material that makes someone appear to say something they did not. But such disclosures only show up toward the bottom of each video's click-to-open description. A YouTube spokesperson said the company has since applied a more prominent label to some videos on the channels flagged by AFP that were not found to have violated the platform's guidelines. TikTok also requires creators to label posts sharing realistic AI-generated content, though several pope-centric videos went unmarked. A TikTok spokesperson said the company proactively removes policy-violating content and uses verified badges to signal authentic accounts. Brian Patrick Green, director of technology ethics at Santa Clara University, said the moderation difficulties are the result of rapid AI developments inspiring 'chaotic uses of the technology.' Many clips on the YouTube channels AFP identified amassed tens of thousands of views before being deactivated. On TikTok, one Spanish-language video received 9.6 million views while claiming to show Leo preaching about the value of supportive women. Another, which carried an AI label but still fooled viewers, was watched some 32.9 million times. No video on the pope's official Instagram page has more than 6 million views. Experts say even seemingly harmless fakes can be problematic especially if used to farm engagement for accounts that might later sell their audiences or pivot to other misinformation. The AI-generated sermons not only 'corrode the pope's moral authority' and 'make whatever he actually says less believable,' Green said, but could be harnessed 'to build up trust around your channel before having the pope say something outrageous or politically expedient.' The pope himself has also warned about the risks of AI, while Vatican News called out a deepfake that purported to show Leo praising Burkina Faso leader Ibrahim Traore, who seized power in a 2022 coup. AFP also debunked clips depicting the pope, who holds American and Peruvian citizenships, criticizing US Vice President JD Vance and Peru's President Dina Boluarte. 'There's a real crisis here,' Green said. 'We're going to have to figure out some way to know whether things are real or fake.' — AFP

FOMO, Filters And Fraud: Cybercriminals Target Gen Z's Digital Life
Cybercriminals are increasingly leveraging Gen Z's online behaviours — including trend-chasing, social media oversharing and digital nostalgia — to carry out phishing, scams and data breaches, according to cybersecurity firm Kaspersky. The firm warns that the hyperconnectivity and digital-first lifestyle of Gen Z is creating fertile ground for cyberthreats. From fake shopping sites to malware-laced retro games, attackers are turning popular digital habits into exploitable attack vectors. In response, Kaspersky has launched Case 404 , an interactive AI-led cybersecurity game aimed at raising awareness among Gen Z about the risks hidden in everyday online activities. Kaspersky flagged oversharing as a major vulnerability, noting that routine social media posts on platforms like TikTok and Instagram can reveal sensitive personal information. Even casual posts showing home interiors, daily routines or pet names could be weaponised in social engineering attacks or password recovery exploits. The phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) is also being manipulated through clickbait phishing campaigns. Cybercriminals replicate exclusive concert ticket offers or fake product launches — such as new iPhones or event pre-orders — luring victims into revealing credentials or downloading malware. Meanwhile, the revival of Y2K fashion and interest in early-2000s games has exposed Gen Z to threats via counterfeit downloads. Fake versions of nostalgic titles like The Sims 2 and Bratz Rock Angelz are being embedded with malicious software, compromising users' devices. Fast fashion platforms have also become hotspots for phishing schemes. The popularity of retailers such as Shein and Fashion Nova is being mimicked through scam websites and fake promo codes, designed to harvest financial and personal data under the guise of limited-time offers. Beyond consumerism, the rising use of mental health apps among Gen Z — driven by digital dependency and stress-related conditions such as iDisorder — presents another risk. These platforms store highly sensitive personal data that, if breached, could be exploited for phishing or blackmail. Kaspersky advises users to verify links before clicking, avoid oversharing online, and ensure strong password hygiene with two-factor authentication. With Gen Z's digital engagement only set to grow, the firm underlines the importance of staying informed as the first line of defence against cyberthreats. Related

TikTok bans #SkinnyTok after European regulators raise concerns
TikTok has suspended search results for the hashtag #SkinnyTok, after facing pressure from European regulators, in the company's latest effort to counter criticism that the app fuels body image issues among young people. The company said on June 3 that it 'blocked search results for #skinnytok since it has become linked to unhealthy weight loss content,' but did not specify when it made the shift. SkinnyTok used to surface videos on the platform about extreme weight loss tactics, including restrictive eating. The European Commission investigated the #SkinnyTok trend after an April push from France's digital minister, citing concerns that TikTok was promoting extreme thinness and glamorising anorexia. TikTok, which is owned by Chinese tech giant ByteDance, and apps like Meta's Instagram have long faced criticism that their algorithms, which identify and cater to users' interests, can inadvertently target vulnerable young women with videos and images that promote eating disorders and unhealthy body image. The apps have sought for years to block and redirect terms like 'thinspo' to mental health resources, but critics say they have not done enough. The inquiry into #SkinnyTok emerged just over a year after European Union regulators opened an investigation into TikTok over potential breaches of online content rules aimed at protecting children. The investigation is ongoing. 'Superficially, at least, this is a positive move, especially given the quite harmful content that circulates on these sites,' said Brooke Erin Duffy, a professor of communication at Cornell University who studied the role of social media in work, culture and society. 'At the same time, users are savvy. They know how to work these platforms and how to evade their content moderation systems.' TikTok, with its 170 million users in the United States, has sought to tamp down on videos tied to eating disorders for years, using a combination of machine learning and human moderation and working with organizations like the National Alliance for Eating Disorders. Its guidelines technically do not allow videos that promote 'disordered eating and dangerous weight loss behaviors,' and content is ineligible for users' personalised feeds if it shows or promotes 'harmful weight management.' The company said it also worked to interrupt repetitive content patterns tied to weight loss and extreme exercise to prevent vulnerable people from going down so-called rabbit holes of such videos. Some experts have praised TikTok's efforts, including restrictions on certain beauty filters for teenagers that it announced late last year, but others have argued that social platforms ultimately prioritize keeping young users glued to their apps to maximize advertising revenue. On Tuesday, a search for 'SkinnyTok' directed users to a call button for the National Alliance for Eating Disorders and a message that said help was out there for people who had 'questions about body image, food, or exercise.' Still, such terms are a moving target. Young users are adept at using what Duffy calls 'algospeak,' or finding creative ways to misspell terms so they can maintain access to topics related to anorexia or self-harm. Clara Chappaz, France's minister overseeing artificial intelligence and digital affairs, celebrated the removal of the hashtag in a post on the social platform X on Sunday. She added that her broader goal was to keep children off social media until age 15. The change is a reminder that TikTok still faces the typical problems that plague social media platforms, beyond the more existential questions surrounding its future in the United States. TikTok will next face a mid-June deadline for making a deal to be separated from ByteDance, or otherwise be banned in the United States under a federal law passed last year. – ©2025 The New York Times Company This article originally appeared in The New York Times.
