Futurology

Ill pledge to match their efforts. Should be easy, i did nothing today, can probably keep that going for a few years.

Stopping deepfakes feels like a losing battle. By the time you've taken one down, a large amount of people will probably have already seen it if your account is large enough. It's like a game of cat and mouse where the mice are all young and the cat is on its last legs.

Many so called "deep fakes" are in fact just pardies, pieces of art and so on putting withour the context or reclaimed with another backstroy.

The initial case to creat a picture may be legit, while a internet troll or even a actuall agent with an political agency use the pic out of context.

Lets provide an example. Lets say I would make a caricature of a politican for a meme. After that, somebody else comming, taking the caricature and make something different out of it. Fake News for instance. Where comes the problem with "deep fakes" in? As far as I see, Fair Use protects the first step. Its allowed to make caricatures from politicans. The second step doesn't actually make a deep fake, just use a picture that was there before.
