We've had realistic sci-fi and alternate history movies for a very long time.


Which take millions of dollars and huge teams to make. These take one bored person, a sentence, and a few minutes to go from idea to posting on social media. That difference is the entire concern.


If “evil actors” could really “manipulate elections” with fake video, would they really let a few million dollars stop them?

That’s not that much money.


Who says they don't? Interference is being "democratized".


Any examples of hoax videos that you can name? I’m having a hard time placing any.

I really find the threat to be overhyped.



So, nothing. Got it.
