The TV channel was punished for AI video with the threat of rape of a football player

The Argentine Football Association has suspended its accreditation for Todo Noticias. The reason was shown in the air a video created with the help of artificial intelligence. There was a threat of sexual violence against national team midfielder Niko Paz. The message is published on the organization's website.

As previously reported by Telefe, the material was released on July 23. In the plot, characters similar to the head of FIFA Gianni Infantino and the head of the AFA Claudio Tapia, in a fictional conversation communicate with football players before the World Cup final. The video ridiculed conspiracy theories about the pressure on the Argentine national team. In one episode, there was a threat of abuse over Paz in case the team won.

The restrictions affected not only the air. The TV channel is denied access to the training base of the national team. TN employees will not be able to obtain accreditation for matches of national teams of Argentina. When the ban is lifted, it is not specified.

The AFA said that using the image of the national team player for such content is unacceptable. The association called the incident worthy of the strongest condemnation.

The TV channel objected that the video was taken from social networks and showed a few months ago. According to TN, the sanction is related to critical materials about the leadership of the association. On the eve of the TV channel refused accreditation for friendly matches with Uruguay and Costa Rica. Then the reason was the excess of the number of applications over the number of free seats.
