To combat this, Taiwan recently amended a law. It states that if platforms like Facebook are notified of scams, including deepfakes or AI-scripted content, and fail to remove them from sponsored advertisements or similar, they face financial liability. For example, if someone is defrauded of $1 million, Facebook would be responsible for that amount. This amendment aims to re-internalize liability back to the platforms that amplify these scams.
