For everyone involved or resposible about this kind of thing, this sheds no light whatsoever on their position when it comes to deepfakes.


It sheds plenty of light. They're pro-deepfakes. The government literally uses deepfakes to make themselves look more 'powerful', if that's the right word.


... to fabricate emotional messages. They would happily reach for any picture showing something that could resemble a crime and put a crying "3 years old rape victim" next to it. This is what their base is conditioned on. In this case, deepfakes were likely the best option.


That is a completely illogical take: "This tells us nothing about how those who intentionally used deepfakes feel about intentionally using deepfakes".


You mean any authorities who might be expected to protect the public against deepfakes might not really be working 100% in favor of the public?

Say it isn't so . . .


it absolutely does. their position is "deepfakes are OK so long as we're the ones doing it"
