What is the alternative? The government themselves claim it to be a deepfake[1], not the news. [1] https://www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/kamerleden-verg

  Yeah, but that's only because in 2021 everything is a deepfake. Even when it's just a normal fake relying on practical effects. It's cooler to blame a deepfake than a silicon mask or a fake beard.

  Simply a lookalike? I have no idea if that's what happened, I don't know how much work it is to find a willing person that looks sufficiently alike to do the rest with fake hair, makeup, and a decent amount of jpeg. Training a computer is probably easier nowadays. So if it was a deepfake, that begs the question: how was it detected? There is some research into detecting that, but did the impostors not bother implementing countermeasures? Are there no known countermeasures? How were the artifacts, can we tell them apart from compression artifacts with the naked eye? Can the artifacts tell us what software was used? All of that is irrelevant if it's an impostor and very interesting if it's a deepfake, hence the question seems like a relevant one to me.
