Actor Mehazabien Chowdhury has condemned the creation and circulation of false content using artificial intelligence (AI) to defame individuals, describing such acts as a crime rather than entertainment. She has also questioned the role of social media users who share such material, helping it reach wider audiences.In a post on her verified Facebook page on Thursday (October 15), the actor expressed concern over how fabricated content targeting individuals can spread rapidly online, often amplified by hundreds or thousands of users. When false content created to humiliate someone is repeatedly shared, the issue goes beyond the actions of its original creator and reflects a broader social problem, she wrote.Mehazabien questioned how society had reached a point where such behaviour had become increasingly common. She also challenged the tendency to appeal to people's sense of empathy by asking them to imagine similar incidents happening to their mothers or sisters. Why should someone have to be a member of our family for us to respect them as a human being?” her remarks questioned.When did humiliating others become a source of income?The actor also criticised the pursuit of views, likes, shares and online trends at the expense of another person's dignity. She pointed out that some people may create and circulate harmful content to gain engagement, trend on social media or earn a few dollars. Acknowledging that content creation has become a livelihood for many people, Mehazabien said she understood the struggles people face and did not dismiss the economic realities behind online work.However, she questioned when humiliating and disrespecting another person had become an acceptable means of earning money. Her remarks highlighted the ethical responsibility of content creators who prioritise online engagement and financial gain over the potential harm their content can cause.Anyone can be a victimMehazabien also stressed that the problem is no longer confined to women or men. In the race for views, engagement and trending status, anyone can contribute to the spread of harmful content, while anyone can also become a victim.What concerns her most, she wrote, is not only the person who creates such material but also the countless others who willingly share it, discuss it and help spread it to thousands more. She urged social media users to reflect on whether sharing such content makes them complicit in another person's wrongdoing and whether their actions reflect a lack of conscience.Her message called for greater accountability among both content creators and ordinary users, emphasising that online popularity should not come at the cost of another person's dignity and respect.
