It's strange to me that people are so concerned about these deep fakes when the National Enquirer has been around for so long. It's been easy to lie to people in mass for awhile now. I don't think this changes the number of people that are open to these suggestions, I think people in general are smarter than a lot of people give them credit for.

On the flip side, it may become harder to convince people of the truth when there is such a convenient way to reject unwelcome video evidence. This could amplify echo chambers.
