A TikTok account using a school's branding posted five deepfake videos targeting school staff members, prompting police investigation and platform removal.
A social media account on TikTok posted 'deeply inappropriate deepfake content' that targeted staff at Grainville School. The account used the school's badge and branding and uploaded five videos, some of which included staff members. The videos were created using artificial intelligence to appear real but were fabricated deepfakes. The incident was reported to both TikTok and the States of Jersey Police by education authorities. The Education and Lifelong Learning Minister, Deputy Rob Ward, confirmed the incident and urged people not to watch, share, or engage with the material. The account has since been removed from the TikTok platform. Officials described this as an isolated incident but stated they continue monitoring the situation across all schools. The focus has been on swift content removal, supporting those affected, and reinforcing safeguarding measures.
