He warned that anyone found guilty of misusing social media to spread false information or defame public figures will face consequences stressing that the president has made it clear that culprits will be dealt with, regardless of their affiliation.
Mr. Hinyama’s comments come amid growing concerns over AI-generated images and videos circulating on social media, targeting public figures.
