Jordan Peele does a PSA as Barrak Obama to demonstrate that "videos can be faked" Which is totally true. The deepfakes that have been in the news are something to be concerned about but the limitations of the technology are never discussed. The only important thing it to put it in the public consciousness that "videos can be faked". I work in video and digital effects. My eyes are tuned to see this stuff. The supposed HRC video should not look like these blurry chin deepfakes nor would she be looking well lit right at the camera. But that won't be the discussion. The discussion will be "videos can be faked". Educate yourself.

Yup, I noticed Theresa May elude to fake pics/videos months ago and I thought 'oh yes you are tying to plant seeds of doubt for when they eventually come out!' This was in a talk she gave and it did not even tie in with what she was saying at the time. Just slipped it in there. I have searched and searched since then but cannot find the clip to share!
