Germany presses social platforms to act on misleading AI-generated Holocaust imagery

On January 17 2026, Germany and several Holocaust memorial institutions called on major social media platforms to curb the spread of misleading AI-generated Holocaust images. The organizations urged platforms to clearly label such content, proactively remove certain manipulated depictions, and restrict monetization of the fabricated imagery.
