Deepfakes Videos Will No Longer Be 'Just For Fun'

Deepfakes is the key for those who want to scale up misinformation campaigns or defame another with an edited pornographic video.

Deepfakes comes with both fun and worries, especially when being misused as content in politics and pornography. In the meantime, California is the first state in the US that has new bills signed into law to limit all potential threatens. The first will identify a manipulated video as illegal if it discredits candidates by replacing their face or speech within 60 days of an election. For other non-politician residents, they can sue anyone if he/she made a deepfakes-powered porn video from their original images.

Deepfakes technology has become famous since the Internet was floated by a video originally featuring Bill Hader but then replaced by Tom Cruise’s face. Such an amusing video, but things went so far when a deepfakes software creates fake content by combining celebrities’ faces onto the bodies of porn stars. Those appear to be seriously disturbing invasions of private privacy.

As for politics, a video used deepfakes technology was wrongfully edited with the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi looking drunken during a speech. However, Facebook decided to not remove the video, citing that it would instead roll out a third-party article for fast checking to highlight the fact that the original video had got edited.

Misinformation can be spread out quickly due to such videos

According to Marc Berman – a representative at the California Assembly, these types of videos could deceive the public as well as affect results from elections. On the voters’ side. Such videos or images could likely influence their decision in an upcoming election without the consent of how they were manipulated to deliver wrong views that are far different from those in reality. As such, deepfakes technology is nothing but a powerful and dangerous tool for those who want to scale up misinformation campaigns and make voters stuck in confusion.

Excellent and professional investigative services. I hired Mr Fred for a very private and difficult matter of hacking my Wife's phone, and he far exceeded my expectations. He helped me get the info(whatsapp, facebook, text messages both deleted ones, call logs and Instagram etc) I needed faster and cheaper than I had imagined. The first time we spoke, we had a very long phone consultation in which he gave me all my options that he could think of to resolve my case, and he even recommended I try other options before hiring him, which shows that he is honest. I decided to hire him and I am glad I did. He is a fantastic investigator and a great person and if you have a dishonest partner don’t hesitate to send him a mail Contact: fredvalcyberghost@gmail.com Text or call him on: +14236411452 and whatsapp him on+19782951763
