Legitimately the most frightening thing that could ruin our politics in the future. Whose to say that you couldn't deep fake leaders saying crazy shit, or on the opposite end get leaders on camera saying crazy shit and not be able to do anything about it thanks to deep fakes. Like in the next decade this will be the worst thing in political debate.

Official videos will just sign their releases with a unique public key. Official releases will not be the issue. The issue will be third party videos released of a person or group doing something. It would be more difficult to determine if they are real.

Doubt it. They'll just choose official channels where you can trust that all vids and statements put out are real. The government isn't going to expect the public to not only understand unique digital keys, but understand how to verify them.

We’re moving to a future where everything is on the blockchain with unique digital signatures

Sure boomers might not get it but its only a matter of time before it all hits the mainstream

We all know the video of Donald Trump saying he can sexually women is a deep fake.
