C Z Doval Santos“ Before there were #deepfakes , there were #cheapfakes ; now there are both. social media was suddenly awash in videos pushed by unscrupulous Republican accounts edited to play up stereotypes about Pres.Joe Biden's age. Media outlets, too, promoted the clips, with the New York Post recently claiming to have footage showing Biden wandering off in a daze during the G7 summit in Italy. In reality, Biden was congratulating a skydiver who had just landed. “ https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/fake-video-joe-biden-g7-italy-rcna157767

The economy is booming though many Americans choose to pretend otherwise, crime is down — so all they can do is offer up cheapfakes to make Biden look old and doddering, assuming we are too stupid to know we're being tricked by these cheapfakes.

Sohan DsouzaFrom Logically Facts: 〝Shortly after the prime ministers speech, social media users started adding subtitles or captions to footage from the event, claiming Kristersson said "folkm" or "folkmo" before pausing, which would make it more probable to hear "folkmord" - the Swedish word for genocide.〞
