"openly funding opposition" is better than "deepfakes and invasion"

The first weaponized deepfake I might've seen was with Julian Assange. No idea who created it but it exceeded SOTA at the time (a few years ago).

We have original secret technology that beats state of the art but we can't tell that deepfake is detectable with naked eye? Likely

Anyway, can't find anything about it so it obviously did not make enough news.

No 'deepfake' was revealed by the russiagate stampede. What they found was that a Russian media company paid for $150,000 worth of Facebook ads pointing to NYT or WSJ or whichever American mainstream media outlet news about Hillary Clinton's laptop. Other than that there was no proof of anything but a lot of accusations.
