Deepfakes are getting good. People complain about these being used for propaganda, while ignoring the giant piles of propaganda around us all, all the time, from every direction to maintain the status quo.

Like, sure, ban or label deepfakes, or whatever. But by that logic, you'd have to ban CNN

    idk I wouldn’t say ban it. It’s not like the people who can already afford to do it anyway won’t still do it - Natsec, corporate espionage, what have you.

    If it’s out in the open people can understand to be suspicious.
