MODERATORS
We already saw that with nothing more than two words. Trump started the "fake news" craze, and now 33% of Americans dismiss anything that contradicts their views as fake news, without giving it any thought or evaluation. If a catch phrase is that powerful, imagine how much more powerful video and photography will be. Even in 2019 there was a deep fake floating around of Biden with a Gene Simmons tongue, licking his lips, and I personally know several people who thought it was real.
Great example. Yeah, I've had to educate family members about deepfakes because they didn't even know that they were possible. This was on the back of some statement like "the only way to know for sure is to see video." Uh... Sorry fam, I have some bad news...
