In reality it will be both and no one will change because people don’t believe anything from the “other” side anyway.

- hnrodey 6y agoAnother possibility is that we have people defending the use of such fake videos using the reasoning "that's what this person is already saying! that's what this person already thinks! this video represents everything we already believe to be true about this person"
- rhn_mk1 6y agoThis makes me think videos will not be seen as a source of truth but as a source of hearsay: "this is exactly what they would say anyway, so who cares if they did"? Following this line of thought, why not release deepfakes of yourself to provide plausible deniability for your statements? If people believe it - good! You meant to say it. If people decide it's not what you would have said, you didn't say it anyway.
