Graham Norton, the Irish comedian, has won a US court case compelling Meta to disclose the identity of those behind the Westminster Wire page, which has been spreading false and distressing claims about him and his family. The posts, which include AI-generated images and fabricated statements, have caused significant emotional distress to Norton and his family, including false reports of his mother's death. The court ruling allows Norton's legal team to access Meta's records to identify the anonymous account operator, which has been active since December 2025. Norton aims to pursue further legal action in the High Court in England against the responsible parties. The Westminster Wire account has over 9,000 followers and has been posting multiple times a day. Norton emphasizes the importance of his professional reputation, which has been jeopardized by these false claims. Meta's policies on misinformation and AI-generated content may apply to this case, potentially leading to the account's removal.
