Summary

The Italian opposition has filed a complaint with Agcom against AI-generated images from Salvini's League, labeled as racist and xenophobic. These images depict men of color as criminals without real photos, spreading fear despite the EU's Digital Services Act being ineffective. The trend of AI propaganda in far-right parties, including deepfakes, is seen as concerning.
