I am not sure this is a new frontier at all. This is a case of no one being who they say they are on the internet. Frankly, given the mood in US these days, it seems wise not to share your opinion too openly ( or leave your contact information ). Since it is not deepfake ( it may very well be an enhanced pic for all we know ), question becomes what is the purpose behind this author's post. Did they just learn about deepfakes and wanted to capitalize on it? Did they want to propagate a specific point ( and if so, which one )? I miss the days I took articles at face value ( ignorance is bliss ). Now, I can't help myself and analyze former bastions like reuters. It is sad to me.
