fakes have been an issue since forever, and the solution has always been the same, estabilishing a trust chain.

just cutting things out of context is enough to completely twist reality, deep fakes are just convenient shortcuts, but hardly needed.

media going back into "anonymous sources" and "people close to the matter says" isn't helping either.

as a sciety we were going in the right direction with pgp and decentralized authority chains, but apparently all that scene is pratically dead nowadays.
