Robin Williams' children reactivate his Instagram after 12 years to counter AI fakes

Zak, Zelda and Cody Williams reactivated Robin Williams' Instagram account in August 2026, ending a 12-year dormancy since the actor's 2014 death. Timed to what would have been his 75th year, the verified account aims to be "a safe, trusted place" for authentic memories, pushing back against AI-generated content using his likeness. The profile now links to TikTok, Facebook and YouTube.
