- Graham Norton has been granted a US court order compelling Meta to reveal the source behind a Facebook account publishing AI-generated and factually inaccurate posts about him.
- The account, “The Westminster Wire”, has been posting about Norton since it was created in December 2025, including false reports of his mother's death, his own supposed ill-health and AI-generated images of him and his husband Jonathan McLeod.
- According to The Irish Independent, Norton told the district court in California that he has been forced to debunk the false information to his friends.
- He said that the posts superimposed him into fake scenarios and the “false attributions of offensive, racist, or otherwise deeply objectionable views and conduct”.
- The comedian plans to pursue legal proceedings in the High Court in England against the individual(s) responsible.
