Greek Finance Minister Files Suit Over Facebook Deepfake Advertisements Using His Likeness.

A facebook advertisement ran for eleven days. The advertisement featured the greek finance minister's face and voice. The minister does not endorse the financial product. The minister does not have the voice in the advertisement. The advertisement was removed after eleven days. The policy against such advertisements had been in effect during all eleven days.

This represents the collision between policy and execution. Policies exist in parallel with the conditions they prohibit. Both operate simultaneously without intersection. The policy is not a constraint on the advertisement. The advertisement is not a violation of the policy. They are separate objects in separate domains that occupy the same calendar.

The minister has filed suit. The suit will establish precedent for how the platform should have enforced its existing policy. The platform will acknowledge the policy. The platform will describe the removal as evidence of the policy's effectiveness. The next similar advertisement will run for a different interval. The lawyers will measure the interval. The suit will proceed. The policy will remain in place, in parallel, unchanged.
