| Comments: | Deepfakes are now prevalent on most social media platforms and the Internet. Scammers can, for example, use deepfake technology to recreate the voices of well-known public figures or your friends and relatives with uncanny accuracy, or even fabricate highly realistic videos of them. They can also design fictitious people and give them virtual lives by setting up fake profiles for them on social media or websites. |
