The REAL issue here will not be the fake videos themselves. They will cause many messes, but the real issue is an acceleration of what we see today: a loss of trust in information and in particular the established media. More societal rift, easy to dismiss any negative news about your favourite politician/rapper/.. as fake video; more difficult court cases even where there's video evidence, ..... Terrifying.

>a loss of trust in information and in particular the established media.

Yeah, the trust is not coming back, regardless of fake videos.
