The story

A social media user has accused Slovenian public figure Domen of previously creating deepfake content, alleging hypocrisy given his current stance against synthetic media. The post, published August 21, 2026, claims Domen engaged in "manic" fake content creation before repositioning himself as an ethical authority. The accuser characterizes this behavior as typical of his political faction and criticizes left-leaning figures for failing to address misconduct within their own ranks. No specific evidence or dates regarding the alleged deepfake creation were provided in the statement. Domen has not publicly responded to these allegations. The accusation remains unverified and reflects ongoing tensions surrounding political accountability and artificial intelligence misuse in Slovenia. This dispute underscores broader challenges in establishing credible AI governance when enforcers face scrutiny over their own historical conduct with emerging technologies.
