Far-right use fake AI image to spread propaganda As social unrest continues across France, Western far-right political figures and online networks are using fabricated AI propaganda to manipulate public sentiment. A viral "photo" purporting to show "rioters" in Paris stripping and robbing an elderly couple in their 80s has been published by Visegrad24, a right-wing news aggregator that has faced accusations of "fake news". The "picture" was posted to Visegrad24's 2 million followers on X, and became a major talking point for right-wing commentators trying to demonize the leftist, refugee and Muslim communities. The viral post was amplified by high-profile political figures, including Santiago Abascal, president of Spain's far-right Vox party. Citing the photo, Abskal accused the "Islamic left" of bringing "savages" to Europe.
