The "Center for Countering Digital Hate" has a plan to silence criticism of the government

Here's how their plan works:

Step 1) They use AI to make politicians do fake stuff (nicknamed "deepfake")

Step 2) They infiltrate left-leaning media to spread their "educational materials".
They'll say "Look at these deepfakes!  That is possible!  So we must educate the public on election disinformation"

Step 3) They put in people's minds that all digital evidence can easily be manipulated.
And since everyday voters can not ever access first-hand sources or interview key-people,

Then:
The everyday person can't trust online sources

Therefore:
They can only trust authorities telling them what is real.

You see, the book 1984 had them literally burn books,
The new strategy is to propagandize people to the point that they won't accept what's written.
 

 politicians could always post their words/promises/acts in some undeletable place like nostr signed with a personal PGP-key, so the words could always be checked as actual, but it's too cypherpunk for them 

(didn't understand tho, how media taking about the power of deep fakes is connected to their leftiness lol)
