A TikTok account, "Amandine Le Pen," created using AI deepfake technology, impersonated a fictional niece of Marine Le Pen, amassing over 30,000 followers. The account spread pro-RN messages and solicited donations, misleading users and exploiting political influence. Visual inconsistencies revealed the deepfake, raising concerns about AI misuse for political manipulation, identity theft, and violation of personal rights, especially with similar accounts proliferating, such as "Lena Maréchal Lepen."
