Videos supposedly showing members of the public talking about their views on immigration aren’t real—they’ve been generated using AI.
30 June 2026
What was claimed
Videos show members of the public talking about their views on immigration.
Our verdict
These videos are fake. They contain SynthID watermarks and visual glitches which indicate they were generated using AI.
Videos supposedly showing members of the public talking about their views on immigration are fake.
The clips, which have been shared on Facebook, appear to show people talking to someone off-screen holding a microphone.
The clips contain a SynthID watermark, indicating that they were made using Google’s AI tools, and there are a number of other visual clues that they are AI-generated.
For example, in one of the clips a bus can be seen driving through a bollard, while in another the back of a bus morphs into the front of a bus part way through the video, and the layout of the street in the background changes.
